This book made me want to stop writing because I dont think Ill ever write as well as him. but at the same time it made me never want to put down my pen again because I want to write as well as him. I am in love.2 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Demons in the Spring was my Angel in the FallBy tracy rubino"Demons in the Spring" is f-ing phenomenal. I was already in love with Joe Menos "The Boy Detective Fails" and its absolute wonderfulness (a classic of his and a must read of all his works) but while reading "Demons in the Spring." I was really humbled to see Mr. Meno take it up a notch from his already amazingly imaginative and unique writing.Each short story is well developed and has the same amount of heart (if not more) as his longer works (which significantly influenced how much pleasure I took in reading them). The stories are rich and light at the same time. and even more importantly. each is vastly different. showing just how far Meno has stretched his imagination and ours as the reader. One story is even about a miniature elephant! Meno continues to perfect his ability to break and mend my heart in the same instance. A few of the stories left me wiping tears from my face before I could continue to the next one. I cannot express enough how much appreciation. admiration. and love I have for Joe Menos writing. His intensely direct and spacious style may not be for everyone. but if your heart needs touched and your imagination needs hugged in a new way. dont hesitate to read this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. best collection of short stories Ive ever readBy Davidbest collection of short stories Ive ever read. amazing voice. will absolutely need to pick up more of his work.
