Savages Todd Wetherington

When our threadbare veil of safety and sanity is finally ruptured, what comes next? In Savages, the debut short fiction collection from North Carolina writer Todd Wetherington, the answer is a brave and bitter new world of obsession, rage, and sometimes, love. Welcome to the other side, where school children plot revenge for their small town's ancestral sins; a would-be prophet plays a deadly game with believers and cynics alike; a new job pushes a veteran of corporate banality toward a desperate realization; and a terrifying accident sends a young man deep into the wilderness of loss and discovery.
