Glass Animals

Stephen V. Ramey’s Glass Animals offers an intimate look at a matador’s passion and pain a bus driver’s brush with mortality a jilted lover’s dilemma a disfigured boy who “inhales” his salvation and a young man hounded by glass animals in a pool. Ramey takes on the richness of his characters’ emotional and physical torment and delivers something morbidly fascinating and keen. A great first collection!
