Short stories collection that I read in two days that focuses on the mundane horror of being Texas lower-middle class. Parsons is one of those literary fiction-adjacent authors whose stories are occasionally a bit too subtle for their own good, though I'm still glad I picked this up based on the Gabriela Garcia Marquez recommendation alone. Plus, amazing cover art. More of that, less of cut-outs on single-color backgrounds.
Graphic: Drug abuse
Moderate: Homophobia, Misogyny, Sexual content, Violence
