Godforsaken Idaho
By Shawn Vestal
224 pages;
New Harvest
Godforsaken Idaho, Shawn Vestal's slam-dunk debut, casts a cinematic shadow on the American West. In "Winter Elders," a Mormon missionary stalks a former church member to devastating effect. The doubters in these stories lose religion but find that "nothing that happens has to be real, and anything is possible."
