GoodRead me

If you’re on Goodreads, do me a favor and add The Suburban Swindle to one of your list.

I’ll think you’re just swell.

(And thanks to Steve Himmer for putting it on there in the first place. That was a really pleasant surprise.)

Suburban Swindle blurb

“Sharp, bold, and deeply affecting, Jackie Corley’s stories are like poetry made from the gritty stuff of hard-scrabble life. Dead garden snakes and forgotten video games, gravestone statues that seem to dance in the night: in Corley’s able hands, the mundane, even the ugly, are transformed. The young men and women who struggle through her slim, piercing collection, stay with you long after you’ve finished reading; tough-talking and scarred, tattooed and tender, they search Corley’s dirty, sparkling New Jersey streets for something always just out of reach.

“A fiercely original debut. Corley is a talent to watch.”

-Scott Snyder, author of Voodoo Heart
