Michael Marshall Smith’s “Everything You Need” Coming from Earthling Publications
I love short story collections, so much, in fact, that I often try collections by authors I have no experience with. And now Earthing Publications has dropped temptation in my e-mail with the announcement of Everything You Need by Michael Marshall Smith. And when you combine short stories with limited print runs it’s almost certain I’m going to start taking a closer look at what’s being offered. Why? Don’t ask me. If I understood how my mind works I would be dangerous.
An aimless driver in the mountains comes upon something that’s both more and less than he hoped for. A child discovers why you should always stay in bed if you wake up in the middle of the night. A homeowner unpacks the wrong bag of groceries, and comes to suspect his neighbors might have secrets that he doesn’t want to know. A cable shopping channel presenter is confronted with disgruntled customers from a *very* long way out of town … and a man sets himself to rid the world of one of its most famous lies, and winds up destroying himself instead.
