Aesthetically Human
Aesthetically Human arcs through an adventure of the soul. Metaphorically, and often literally, each of the book's five short stories takes a look at the intricacies of the human experience. Loosely framed by the 5 Stages of Grief, and traveling through each with a new story and fresh emotions, the tales follow a path of exploration, discovery, and individual resolution.
The Apple Tree and the Circus (Denial) - A fairytale-type meeting between ideologies occurs when a deity goes looking for his lost toys.
Roy (Anger) - A nameless drifter enters the life of an elderly couple in time to see it unravel.
Early Outside Vegas (Bargaining) - Money movers and a trio of desperate criminals cross paths one morning early outside Vegas.
His Name Was Henry (Depression) - A troubled man defines justice and takes it into his own hands.
Pricher's Peace (Acceptance) - Life on the Moon means different things to different members of the Valicon Moon mining team.

Usually, short stories put me off, but these were intriguing to me. I rarely saw any twists coming, which is refreshing in a world of cliches. The writing is very atmospheric and generated the emotions I believe Mr. Call intended.
The story that hit me the most must've been the one entitled "Roy." Something about it struck a chord within me that hasn't sung since I read old ghost stories with my dad on rainy October days. This was my favorite story of the bunch and I've reread it since I finished the book.
I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good read, something rather easy to fall into but definitely thought-provoking.
