Everyone Dies Famous in a Small Town

Taking place between Alaska, Washington, Colorado, and Wyoming, we follow several characters through their own and each other’s stories. The themes of the stories vary greatly; from sexual abuse, teen romance, friendship, LGBTQ relationships and homophobia, and familial relationships and their difficulties. The stories are mostly dark, but there are a few lighter moments. Though the stories are interesting and somewhat intertwined, the complexity and care with which The Smell of Other People’s Houses is missing.
