title: Houses of Children (American Literature (Dalkey Archive))
author:  Coleman Dowell 
description: Initially released in 1987, this collection of 14 short stories offers a very mixed bag, including a ghost story, a tale of a young cannibal, and the story of a man who is falling apart literally. Though dark, there is also a touch of the comedic. <br />Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
