Through Shattered Glass

David B. Silva is a damned fine writer. Through Shattered Glass is filled with emotional, imaginative tales. Silva explores the depths of loss and regret and fragility with grace in these stories. His voice is smooth and clean; the tone of these tales is clearly melancholic, but there is a hint of redemption there as well (I detect a hint of Ray Carver in these little gems).

"The Calling" and "Dry Whiskey" are among my favorites. It's a fine collection, and well worth your time.
