Short modern fiction with a very McSweeney's feel, charmingly packaged in a free ebook.

If this sounds enjoyable to you, your time is definitely not wasted with these 2 off-kilter stories. Worst-case scenario: you become a fan of Hanas and your'e out ~$10 when you buy the collection these were taken from.

The stories in this book have cuts I don't know what to think of. It hooks you as fast as it leaves you to figure out the pieces.
