Wave Forms and Doom Scrolls

In this heart-twisting collection of short stories,Daniel Scott Tysdaldelves deep into the human experience. From the middle-aged man involved in a suicide cult to the young woman trying to write a poem for a friend who has recently died, to the daughter of a man who loses everything on a theme park, these stories are filled with beautifully drawn and often profoundly flawed characters. Throughout the collection, Tysdal looks unflinchingly at the darkness of society, at suicide, at internet trolls, at violence, but the powerful empathy of his writing brings significance to even the most tragic moments. These stories have intricate and unexpected plots, filmic descriptions and crisp writing, but what will stay with the reader is the wayWave Forms and Doom Scrollsbreaks the reader's heart and then puts it back together again filled with compassion for these lost souls.
