Eden Robinson's first book, a collection of three short stories and one novella, is powerful and disturbing.

Goodreads description:
"The menacing underside of family life is the subject of Eden Robinson's debut collection. In crackling prose, she describes homes ruled by bullies, psychopaths, and delinquents; families whose conflict resolution techniques range from grand theft to homicide; kids who have nowhere to go and a lifetime to get there."
The New York Times included Traplines among its Notable Books of the Year in 1996, inviting readers to discover that "Canadians are as weird and violent as anyone else on this continent."

I found these stories compelling for their raw honesty. One of the stories is the prequel to Blood sports, which I am reading now.
