Tunneling to the Center of the Earth is a fantastic debut short story collection written by Kevin Wilson (novels include There's Nothing to See Here, The Family Fang, and more). The stories are imaginative, peculiar, and truly interesting to read. Kevin Wilson has a distinctive writing style, which is consistent throughout the book, and topics include spontaneous combustion, substitute grandparents, and first lust in the A/V room. My favorite stories were "The Dead Sister Handbook: A Guide for Sensitive Boys" and "The Choir Director Affair (The Baby's Teeth)". As with all his writing, you will think differently once you experience his imaginative storytelling. It's a excellent choice for fans of George Saunders, Etgar Keret, and Sabrina Orah Mark.
