This Keeps Happening, Paperback by Hogan, H. B., ISBN 1988784115, ISBN-13 9781988784113, Like New Used, Free shipping in the USFiction. Short Stories. A bush party leads to self-immolation. A cab ride ends in warfare. A squirrel is eviscerated. A universally impossible dare is accepted and proves not to be fatal. The weird kid triumphs. The stories in H. B. Hogan's debut collection sizzle like butter on hot cast iron--they're rich and dark and full of scrappy, sordid, and sparkling humanity."In her darkly entertaining debut collection, . Hogan brings us tales of people who find themselves on the wrong side of the social divide."--Toronto Star"H. B. Hogan's stories are dirty, fresh, and brutally funny, lingering on little human details until they're just uncomfortable enough--then pushing a little farther. Their wickedness will stay with you for days."--Michelle Winters"What I love most about these stories is the many ways that redemption is made completely absurd, as if to point out how rare and how tenuous moments of self-fulfillment really are. I want to avoid spoilers but I'll just say that it's not often that a story makes me gasp in shock and burst out laughing in a single paragraph."--Claire Farley
