Monsters of Appalachia by Sheryl Monks

Monsters in Appalachia: Stories by Sheryl Monks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This collection of Gothic Southern/Midwestern short stories range from poignantly realistic, a daughter tanning with her mother, to mystical realism, an elderly couple cohabitating with Biblical monsters at the End of Days. Through her characters, Monks explores the balance between morality and circumstances, choice and complacency.
