A debut collection of short fiction exploring the surreal banalities and weird outrages of everyday American life includes the title story, "The Littlest Hitler," in which a nine-year-old boy devises a Halloween costume that will make him the scariest kid in the fourth grade.
The characters range from cozily familiar (3 pre-adolescent Dr. Who fans) to the bizarre (a bee- bearded woman), but all of the stories are compelling.
