I never thought I could be so wowed by tales of grief, loss, and pain.  But Scott Moses delivered me something I didn't know I needed or that I don't even know how my heart survived.  This short story collection is beautifully written and each story has a little blurb beforehand that explains either when or why it was written.  One of the blurbs almost made me cry ("Blues Exorcist," I am looking at you)!  There is not a single story I did not enjoy reading, but my favorites are "Nowhere, Louisiana," "Blues Exorcist," "What's In Your Name," and "Hunger Pangs."  This collection has stories everyone will hone in and and love, but I think each reader will have a different subset of favorites due to their own personal experiences and their connections to grief and loss.  With incredible cover art from Daniele Serra, Hunger Pangs is a collection that you can ravage up in one sitting or that you can spread over a few days to fully absorb all that's within.
