These really are terrific--Egan's insight into character is a continuing pleasure, the language limpid and smooth, the plot twists startle yet feel so right. The title story, "Fog," was marvelously evocative and surprising.
I think of the entire volume as just "Fog" and reflect that it is an unsettling space where "Choosing favorites from among these stories is not easily done, at least not by me.
‘Fog And Other Stories’ by Laury A. Egan
I think of the entire volume as just "Fog" and reflect that it is an unsettling space where nothing is just as it seems and unsuspected hazards may lurch from an unseen alley at any time. Buy this book and meet "Fergus," whom you won't forget; you won't forget Granny Annie or the Kid either.
This is a thoughtful and most enjoyable collection.
In Fog and Other Stories, she has produced a collection of tales which both enter-tain and matter to the soul of the reader. I am particularly a fan of "Fergus," "Split," and "Jango Jacks," and now the delight of this entire collection is sure to stay with me, as the best short stories do. From ruminations on the repercussions of time to mind-bending excursions into the supernatural, examinations of cruelty and kindness to incisive relationship studies, Egan's stories are a satisfying blend of style, plot, and characterization--and exhibit a deep understanding of human nature.
