Folk Songs for Trauma Surgeons: Stories
Folk Songs for Trauma Surgeons: Stories | Keith Rosson
1 post | 2 read | 7 to read
In "Dunsmuir," a newly sober husband buys a hearse to help his wife spread her sister's ashes, while "The Lesser Horsemen" illustrates what happens when God instructs the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to go on a team-building cruise as a way of boosting their frayed morale. In "Brad Benske and the Hand of Light," an estranged husband seeks his wife's whereabouts through a fortuneteller after she absconds with a cult, and in "High Tide," a grieving man ruminates on his brother's life as a monster terrorizes their coastal town. With grace, imagination, and a brazen gallows humor, Folk Songs for Trauma Surgeons merges the fantastic and the everyday, and includes a number of Rosson's unpublished stories, as well as award-winning favorites.

Shoutout to the new Barnes and Nobles in Santa Fe who didn‘t have the one book I wanted (isn‘t that always the way) so I came home with this. I really liked this collection of short stories who reminded me of Nathaniel Balingrud‘s short stories. The monsters aren‘t the horror, it‘s the people going through some of the toughest days of their lives. There are some, though, that made me so angry because he would take a character to the edge 👇🏼

Reggie and I would think WHAT‘S NEXT?!! And he would say-that‘s it, that‘s the end. lol. The first story is Pestilence, War, and Famine being told they have to go on a team building retreat. But not Death cause Death is perfect. So the Lesser Horsemen go on a boat and there they are with their coach Linda doing trust falls and talking about feelings. It‘s super creative and this and other stories told me that Keith has had some shitty jobs. All the 👇🏼 3mo
