Featured Reviews

I was not familiar with Jay Atkinson when I picked up Treestand, but was intrigued by both the title and description of the stories. This is a collection of north eastern noir, with plenty of gritty often sad occurrences of everyday life. I couldn’t help but be reminded of one of my favorite authors, Harry Crews. Then to my surprise I learned that Mr. Atkinson not only attended 6 semesters of classes taught by Crews but was also good friends with him. There is definitely more than “one good sentence” in this anthology, well done.

A pretty good collection. There are better anthologies out there, but this one is worthwhile. This author has written multiple books, and understands how to create a good story.

Thanks very much for the free review copy for review!!

A collection of short stories that are thought provoking, somewhat depressing but definitely worth the read. Well written and thought provoking.
