In these beautiful and unsettling narratives, a dreamlike logic governs a vivid and strange physical world. In \"Blue Room,\" the adolescent protagonist carries on a voyeuristic relationship with a blind old woman in a mysterious house. In \"The Hole,\" a young boy becomes fascinated by an outhouse toilet, a portal through which he observes bodily wastes, curiosities, and portents. In the title story, an act of violence deepens the nightmarish tones and mood of disorientation. And in \"The King,\" a child narrator--who may or may not be present--witnesses a horrific visit from an exiled ruler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull of bodily parts, functions, and desires, Moresco's stories distort time and reality to summon a world of carnal immediacy and uncanny haziness.
