Caleb Dunaway
Librarian Assistant, Beaumont Branch

Let's face it: life can often be downright weird. And it certainly never packages itself into nice, neat, well-defined concepts like "genre", or, in fact, ever attempts to make much sense of itself. So why not read some fiction that's as unreal as reality, if not less so?
