“This Book is tight, intelligent, and important, and sure to secure Woods a seat in the pantheon of critical twenty-first-century voices.” —  Booklist
<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

“[Things To Do When You’re Goth in the Country is a] collection of eight uncompromising stories set in rural Illinois. In visceral descriptions of decay, boredom, and limited opportunities, (…) Woods’s characters struggle to eke out an identity, as they confront the bleak difficulties of their lives and persist in surviving.”<\/em> – Publisher’s Weekly<\/strong><\/p>\n

Think of Woods as a literary exorcist, calling out certain entities that possess rural America: isolation, working-class <\/em>poverty, drugs, incarceration, military dogma, and evangelical religion.” <\/em>— The Rumpus<\/strong><\/p>\n
