One of the best audiobooks I've heard.

This is just a phenomenal collection. Jim Bihyeh's writing is immaculate, with some of the most nuanced and thoughtful character writing I've seen in a collection. Cayenne Chris Conroy's narration is just perfect, playful where it needs to be, eerie where it's called for, devastating in other places. I'm a huge fan of collections or novels that focus on small towns or communities and intertwining stories, and Coyote Tales just nails this approach in the most satisfying ways. By the end of the collection I felt like I'd both been taken on a journey, but also very much come to feel familiar with a place where very little usually changes. There's not a weak story among the bunch, and this is the first time I've finished an audiobook and already planned to listen to it again real soon, as these are tales very much designed to be appreciated in the retelling too, as is tradition. A wonderful collection of fiction, and a wonderful cultural artifact that serves as a wider commentary on the nature and importance of storytelling. A book I'd recommend to absolutely everyone.
