Meagan Lucas and 1 other person liked Ken Jaworowski's review of Here in the Dark: "Holy smokes, these stories are ALIVE, and full of my favorite kinds of characters: ones who are messy and complex, and vividly brought to life. 'Kittens' bruised my heart, and 'Porch Light Salvation' is eight pages of pure tension."
