“Niles Reddick crafts stories that are fiercely honest and intelligent—stories that track our sometimes hopeful/sometimes feckless meanderings. Through tales of family life and relationships, one marvels at the suppleness of his language and the deftness of his thoughts. What an original and enduring treasure of a book this is.”
~ Robert Scotellaro, What Are the Chances? and Bad Motel
“Niles Reddick further establishes his well-earned reputation as a master of short form fiction. Reddick is an acute observer of the foibles and nuances of our human experience. With concision, insight, good cheer, and a knack for consistently turning just the right phrase, he crafts affecting glimpses into the small but essential moments which can reverberate across a lifetime. Likewise, these stories linger in the imagination long after the final page has been turned.”
