Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned

Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned is the first book by Wells Tower, a 36 year old writer.

It made it on one of the New York Times best ten books list for 2009. It is a book of short stories. The stories are well worth reading (there is one story about Vikings on a raid, no, not the football team)and if Mr. Tower lives up to his promise, this first book could become highly collectible.

I found mine at a book exchange store in my home town. There are probably plenty of first printing copies sitting on big city bookstore shelves.
