Theo Schell-Lambert weighs in with a review of Jason Brown’s new book of short stories, out now in paperback:
The title of Jason Brown’s Why the Devil Chose New England for His Work promises the text as a collective explanation. Here, in this “linked collection” (all tales have roots in the fictional Vaughn, Maine), we’ll find evidence of some native Northeastern immorality, or at least a special inclination to fall. The devil might not demand evil as a prerequisite, but he’d surely want a people who could be swayed.
