Suburban life can get pretty stifling at times. This book of short stories examines what can happen when that stifled feeling pushes people to the breaking point.
While the stories at times veer off into shock for its own sake, Homes lends enough humor and emotion to them to keep things interesting.
If I have one complaint, it's that I've read so many "suburban life makes people crazy" stories that they don't seem as fresh as they used to. The book was written in the mid-90s, so Homes can't be faulted.
A note: the Barbie story is really disturbing.
