"Zumas gives socially awkward, mysteriously gifted and self-destructive outcasts spellbinding, unflinching voice . . . It’s a powerful, irresistible collection."
Publishers Weekly

“Attention unrequited lovers, sisters of suicidal brothers, children of the legally blind: you are not alone. Leni Zumas understands your quiet agony and describes it with such a wry, unflinching familiarity that even the gory details ring true. If darkness has ever been your friend, your story is in here.”
—Miranda July

“Leni Zumas’s writing is fearless and swift, sassy and sensational.”
—Joy Williams

"An inchoate evil is hard at work in each of these eleven stunning, loosely linked stories . . . Brown’s deep sympathy for his flawed characters endows these polished shorts with brilliant appeal."
Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Why the Devil Chose New England for His Work links gem-cut stories of troubled youths, alcoholics, illicit romances, the burden of inheritance, and the bane of class, all set in the dense upper reaches of Maine, and delivers them with hope, heart, and quiet humor."
—Lisa Shea, Elle
