Review Excerpt:

In high school, I discovered Charles Bukowski, John Fante, and Raymond Carver. I subsequently realized I was a lover of short story fiction. As a collection of short stories, Christopher Meeks’s “Months and Seasons” definitely holds its own, and does not disappoint.

Full of complete randomness and quirkiness, ingredients I cherish, the stories in this twelve story collection chronicle the eccentricities of an array of diverse characters, who are dealing with the life thrown at them in the only way actually possible: by dealing with their problems, not escaping them. At times laugh-out-loud funny, occasionally disturbing, and at other times thought provoking, Meeks is able to convey the feelings and lives of his subjects in an amusing, and intermittently, enigmatic manner.
