A Dog Story Christopher Meeks

In "A Dog Story," a Los Angeles woman, going through a divorce, visits her soon-to-be ex-husband on Mother's Day and gets their dog, Scrappy, for a day. That dog changes everything. This short book also comes with a second story, "Dracula Slinks Into the Night," about a married couple at a Halloween party. This extra is not in the eBook version. (The eBook version is a Short Read.) This is part of a series of shorts from Christopher Meeks of modern life in America. When his first short story collection, "The Middle-Aged Man and the Sea" came out, the Los Angeles Times called his work "poignant and wise, sympathetic to the everyday struggles the characters face." Entertainment Weekly wrote it was a "stunning" collection. He continues here with his trademark insight and humor.
