Reading the Obits: A Collection of Short Stories

by Gunner Bush

Reading the Obits is a collection of short stories by award winning author, Gunner Bush. Revolving around the central theme of death and dying, Gunner Bush delivers haunting tales of how different people deal with the closure of life. Using relatable characters and palpable storylines, the reader becomes engrossed in the story. Each short story balances on the realization that truth is often stranger than fiction.

Reading the Obits offers a real glimpse into modern day, middle America, as Gunner narrates us through dismal and all too typical events like visiting a hospice and picking up the pieces after a mass shooting, even if the shooter was a relative.

The Day the Hate Changed showcases why the biggest rivalry in college sports is clearly Kentucky vs. Louisville.

Remember the Triple is a look at childhood friends, how they make us, and how we grow away from them. The butterfly effect is real, and sometimes the tsunami turns back into a butterfly.
