A couple meet in a mental institution, have six kids, and devolve into violent alcoholism. An elderly Polish woman with Alzheimer's goes insane in front of our eyes. A frazzled empty-nester has her bruiser son move back in, along with a scheming girlfriend planning a surprise pregnancy to get them both back out. And an abusive, overweight, racist monster of a man psychologically lords over them all, a total of twenty-odd characters all living on the same cul-de-sac in the far rural suburbs of Chicago. Welcome to the dark, poetic world of author Jason Fisk, a "micro-story" collection that breaks these families' adventures down into a series of 75 linguistic nuggets; these are then experimentally hooked together in a non-linear fashion through literal hyperlinks within each story, letting you read them in whichever order you wish. With "Salt Creek Anthology," tumble down that brooding, enticing rabbithole that Fisk has created on this unassuming street for yourself, and see just how far the nightmare will take you.

You can't put this book down, the format of being able to hyperlink to different parts of the story creating a new story line each time is something new and exciting that I've never seen before. Or you can read the story straight through from start to finish which is what I did the first time. The stories are shocking but at the same time, you know that it's not far off from real neighborhoods in places we would never expect. It's intense and shows a light at reality that we don't always look at.
