All the psychological nuance of a bulldozer. - Max Banks These stories present the 'paradoxical' quirks of modern life. The absurdities of living-and dying-permeate these stories. The humor's dark; the chuckles catch in the throat, stop the heart a beat, two. These characters rush through their routines, convinced 'if [they] could just connect, it would all make sense.' But they don't, can't. Enjoy. - J. W. Bonner In these stories, Christopher Arbor creates worlds that sometimes amuse, sometimes confuse, often depress, but always engage the reader. Through his exacting prose and his fine story-telling, he brings to us a reflection on life's great mysteries, deepening them for the rest of our days. Never again will I be able to drive over a bridge without thinking about who's underneath it. And why. - Tim Plaehn Arbor delights and informs us by turning the everyday and normal into the fantastic and paranormal. In pointing to individual and societal flaws, he includes his most sympathetic characters in the jokes, as if to say we're in this together. Above all, his stories are a pleasure to read. - Laird Kopp
