Dumbarton Ghosts

Rating:
Summary: Dumbarton Ghosts Yields Powerful Epiphanies
Review: Mark Ellis' collection of short stories brings to life the worlds of people living in the South Bay area of California. Mark really understands how to explore the truth about his characters. Each of these stories builds to a powerful moment of realization. My favorites include a young boy learning about his sexuality while he discovers the secret behind his aunt's hidden boarder; a stoned goth dealing with seeing the face of Satan in the clouds; and a blue collar couple trying to have children by invoking the ghosts of the Dumbarton Bridge. I had the pleasure of reading many of these fine stories before they were collected into this work.
