About The Demise of Madam Ricketts and Other Short Stories
“Short story lovers are in for a treat. Using an eclectic blend of dark humor, absurdism, and satire, C.D. Hancock has written a collection that entertains while showing readers the unpredictable nature of human behavior, offering a glimpse into various facets of humanity through a cast of quirky and eccentric characters and chaotic events. The narrative tone makes you feel like you’re watching a Coen Brothers movie. I honestly found myself laughing out loud at the misfortunes of some of these characters and the situations they find themselves in. This is one of the best, if not the best, short story collections I’ve read all year thus far. If you enjoy dark humor or tragi-comedy, do not miss out on this one!” — Pikasho Deka for Readers’ Favorite
