Tunneling to the Center of the Earth: Stories

I loved it. But I love short stories. Every single story in this book was interesting, unique and a page turner. Kevin Wilson is so creative - read The Family Fang. I think this collection in particular was one of my very favorites.

Description from goodreads:

""Grand Stand-In" is narrated by an employee of a Nuclear Family Supplemental Provider—a company that supplies "stand-ins" for families with deceased, ill, or just plain mean grandparents. And in "Blowing Up On the Spot," a young woman works sorting tiles at a Scrabble factory after her parents have spontaneously combusted.

Southern gothic at its best, laced with humor and pathos, these wonderfully inventive stories explore the relationship between loss and death and the many ways we try to cope with both."

I love this author, and I look forward to his future books.
