I remember being in high school and stumbling onto Kevin Wilson's "Tunneling to the Center of the Earth" in my high school library just as they were about to close down for the day. I started the first story, "Good Stand-Ins" on the bus ride back and was instantly hooked into Wilson's bizarre, sad-happy world of stand-in actors for family members, exploding people working in Scrabble factories and elegies of dead sisters. It was exciting, revolting, and all around engrossing, a perfect accompaniment for my gothic persona.

In the intervening years, I changed a little bit, but these stories remained just as enchanting as they did back then. Highly recommend checking it out!
