50 States

50 States is a collection of character-driven short stories that take place across the American landscape — the kind and cruel, heroic and criminal — in unpredictable and suspenseful ways. An Idaho farmer who aches for absolution after a tragedy is given one more chance at redemption. Two runaways cross paths in a Tennessee bus station with only one ticket between them. A family sees looters racing toward their home as they escape an Oregon wildfire. A young couple takes a reckless turn off a state highway in Utah and find themselves in a nightmarish government biohazard area. These and 46 more shorts make up an anthology that will surprise readers with each new thought-provoking story as they skip across different genres, moods, and states of mind. Together, they capture the human condition and how perception shapes destiny.
