Stay Awake: Stories

The "Inland" collection of stories by Dan Chaon is a haunting and suspenseful exploration of the human psyche, delving into themes of love, loss, grief, loneliness, displacement, and disconnection.

Through vivid characterization and masterful storytelling, Chaon takes readers on a journey through the darkest corners of the human experience, revealing the deep-seated emotions that shape our lives. The stories in this collection are set against the backdrop of ordinary life, but they venture into the psychological shadowland where the past and present collide.
