The nine stories in this collection provide a sensory-rich showcase of the human spirit in the living, in the dead, and in those caught somewhere between the two. A boy learns that ghosts and guns don’t mix. A woman discovers a unique way to mourn the loss of her cat. A man notices the grace and mystery of an elderly couple boarding the bus. The musicality of Bryce Emley’s voice renders each movement through Smoke and Glass pitch-perfect in a range of minor keys that are sure to linger long after you read the last page.
