Short Stories

If you've ever been in a car wreck, if you have ever been on a hunting trip, and if you have ever been to a taco stand in the middle of the night, you will definitely commiserate with the characters that Daniel Milton brings to the table in his collection of short stories. Done in a gritty, yet tender manner, these stories depict the labors, the tragedies, and the triumphs that we all face as men and women every day. Characters, flawed and fragile, are intricately explored, yielding an ominous, yet optimistic reality that most of us can identify with. Within the book, nine tales are showcased. Each blending an odd, but palatable concoction of humor, sarcasm, sadness and love in blunt style that will both satisfy the reader yet give the reader something to take away from the experience: that reality, as rough and painful as it seems can also hold golden moments of compassion which we all strive to find.
