## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love the sense of magic I get when I read McClanahan's prose.
*by D***N on July 4, 2013*

I love the sense of magic I get when I read McClanahan's prose. I don't mean magic as in magical happenings, but something more like a sense of wonder that is often blended with sadness and tenderness. I'm probably just babbling, but it's what I think. In any event, these are some great stories.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sometimes fewer words are better.
*by J***E on March 2, 2012*

Scott McClanahan--with an economy of words rarely utilize by younger authors--has produced a great little collection of stories. These short passages all feel honest even when unlikely (sometimes surreal) events are being presented. McClahan makes excellent use of surreal devices and an enviable level verisimilitude--often in the same story.This is the first of McClanahan's work that I have read, and I did so because of the low price (free to borrow from Prime members and very cheap to buy for Kindle) of this collection and his upcoming appearance at Literary Death Match in Washington, DC. I will definitely be back for more. Fiction authors who produce literary work that is so relatable and so rooted in the less explored corners of society (the working class, decidedly not urbane) are hard to come by. I would compare McClanahan to Steve Almond, but there are sadly few well known authors to compare him with. McClanahan's alter ego could have embraced and reveled in the rough edges of society like Bukowski, but his character's softer edges give us a protagonist that is original and easier to relate to and root for, even when he's stealing a dirt bike. The only drawback is how quickly this collection reads, leaving you wanting more confessions, more weird tales of Rainelle, West Virginia and Razy's brood.I look forward to seeing McClanahan's self deprecating wit and penchant for truth and confession on display in person and reading his other collections in the very near future.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ the reincarnation of larry brown?
*by B***E on March 9, 2013*

scott mcclanahan's writing reminds me of the late great larry brown's short stories. if you liked 'big bad love' or 'facing the music' then you'll probably like this book as well. every one of the stories in 'Stories V' is a dark, funny, blue collar masterpiece.. i can't recommend this book highly enough. i wish he'd release his early stories in kindle format so i could read those as well. thanks for writing, scott. "the world needs stories." tobias wolff wrote that.
