This Keeps Happening

Short, punchy, visceral stories

A bush party leads to self-immolation. A cab ride ends in warfare. A squirrel is eviscerated. A universally impossible dare is accepted and proves not to be fatal. The weird kid triumphs. The stories in H.B. Hogan's debut collection sizzle like butter on hot cast iron-they're rich and dark and full of scrappy, sordid and sparkling humanity.

"[A] darkly entertaining debut collection."—Toronto Star

"This Keeps Happening is an impressive debut, one that will leave you laughing, cringing, looking off into space uncomfortably, then turning the page once again."—Broken Pencil
