Home and Castle

Thomas Benz

Home & Castle is a delight from the first page to the final paragraph.  Thomas Benz is a powerful, lyrical writer, and his work offers unique insight into the mess and beauty of the human condition.  These are intimate, unexpected stories.  Reading this collection is like poring through a handful of rare gemstones, each one lovelier and more intricate than the last.
