In Kelly Fordon’s haunting darkly humorous collection you will travel through neighborhoods filled with cupcake houses, white picket fences, and sudden dead ends. You will recognize the neighbor who talks too much, the one who keeps secrets, and the one with the perfect veneer. Anyone might emerge from these clapboard houses. In one sleek volume, Fordon creates the neighborhood that you saw and instantly wanted to move into, and then fought like mad to escape. Welcome to the neighborhood.
