Sway

A new story collection by Sheldon Lee Compton, the man David Joy has called "the definition of what Faulkner meant when he described the closeness between the short story writer and the poet." With previously published stories and some new unseen gems, these 30 tales slide beautifully into the Appalachian mythopoeia Compton has so masterfully crafted over the years. Part grit, part gothic, all dirty and beautiful.
