Review:
"Nearly every story in this collection is a standout . . . McCrumb's stories will pluck at the heart like a twangy country love tune; they'll make readers wonder, laugh, weep, and mourn; they'll evoke anger, sorrow, fear, and tenderness; they'll entertain, repel, delight, and mesmerize". -- Booklist (starred review)
From the Back Cover:
The first-ever collection of Sharyn McCrumb's short fiction, FOGGY MOUNTAIN BREAKDOWN is a literary quilting of old and new, offering award-winning works and two stories never before published. Chilling tales of suspense alternate with evocative character portraits and compelling narratives that embrace the southern Appalachian locales and themes of McCrumb's acclaimed Ballad Novels. The author's perfect-pitch ear for dialogue and ability to illuminate the dark side of human nature merge with her brilliant artistry to make this volume a virtuoso collection for devotees of Sharyn McCrumb -- and for the legion of new readers who will find themselves caught under her spell.
