About the book
The title is a fair warning. Unusual Circumstances, published by Pocol Press in 2000, is a collection of short fiction showcasing Michael Largo's versatility as a storyteller, featuring tales of the unusual, the mysterious, and the unexpected.
Short fiction is where a writer's instincts show most clearly, and Largo's instincts have always pointed toward the strange corner of the room. The stories collected here work the same territory his nonfiction would soon make famous: the odd exit, the unexplained turn, the circumstance nobody saw coming.
For completists of the Largo shelf, this is the bridge between the novelist of the Southern Gothic years and the encyclopedist of death who emerged with Final Exits six years later.
