Mapping the Interior by Stephen Graham Jones

 

Oh, hey, I read this today. It's a good little horror novella, with lots to say about the ways families get broken down on the margins of society (especially the Reservations). The POV character's life seems desperate and hardscrabble, both as an adolescent and in the brief denouement as an adult. There aren't really any heroes in the story, heroism isn't something any of the characters can really afford.
