We Are Almost Always on the Verge

Kilian Betlach's first collection of short stories crackle with characters who are dying to move--or dying to be moved. A man is haunted by a series of cryptic deliveries from an ex-lover. A young teacher is forced into Libra-esque balancing act. A boy struggles to find his voice in his first Pentecostal church service. Told in emails and shifting perspectives, in San Francisco and the Deep South, these stories paint a landscape of love and loss that ring with true vibrancy.
