In a run-down neighborhood in an unnamed city, people live and die in “the Obscure.” As shabby as the Obscure is, as long as its walls keep out the wind and the rain, it remains a shelter, a hideaway, and a home for many bewildered souls. The Obscure is life. It is death. In the blink of an eye, it may appear supernatural. This collection of seventeen short stories all take place in or around the “the Obscure,” a place we all visit metaphorically or physically, at least once in our time on Earth. 4.5 stars, 50+ ratings on Goodreads.
