The second chapbook in the Gobble Editions from Magic Helicopter Press. “It's often winter in this collection of seven stories by Meagan Cass, but you can’t tell the difference from the basement of this house in the suburbs where the kids play ping-pong and the father pumps away on his Soloflex, where a family does its best to hold itself together. ‘Maybe it isn’t half bad, tearing your life down now and then,’ the father muses on one of the last good nights, drunk on rum and cokes and the thick amber light. I love these stories because it's clear Cass loves her characters. No one's at fault here; we're all just doing our best.” — Mary Miller
