Hawthorne sees shadows where others see sunshine. These stories emerged over twenty years, each one a window into the darkness that lives alongside ordinary life. The collection holds together like a well-built house - rooms that connect in surprising ways. Young Goodman Brown walks into the forest and comes back changed; other characters face their own versions of that journey. For readers who understand that the most interesting moral questions have no clean answers.
