In the Porches of My Ears by Norman Prentiss
4.0
dark mysterious tense medium-paced

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I discovered Norman Prentiss last year after reading (and falling in love with) his Odd Adventures With Your Other Father. I immediately started reading the second book, Haunted Adventures With Your Other Father. All this to say, I already knew this collection would contain great stories with beautiful prose full of unsettling imagery.
In the Porches of My Ears is a collection of 15 stories, as well as the full text of the previously published novella Invisible Fences (which won a Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in Long Fiction). I enjoyed all of the stories, but my particular favorites are Interval, The Quiet House, and The Everywhere Man.
