Hoffman brings them front and center with this short story collection. In the Blue Bag Cult, a friend will hold your hand while you cry--a best friend will help you bury the body. Nadine's beauty shop offers an entire wedding package including laundry, Angel's Place is a funeral home with innovative and unusual practices. A Day in the Life of a Non-Hostage brings the Southern Weird home by totally skewing the traditional hostage situation.
