Many thanks to @midamericanreview.bsky.social for this review of Alex Pickett's recent story collection, Camera Lake!

At top, a banner with our confetti pattern. Then a photo of the cover of Camera Lake. And then a quote from the review: "East story in Camera Lake excites you, making it hard to put down till you've read all fourteen stories. The collection is gripping, powerful, and so human."--Mid-American Review
