Cozy Fest: Cary Fagan + A Fast Horse Never Brings Good News

Cary Fagan’s A Fast Horse Never Brings Good News (Book*hug Press) delivers five propulsive stories that are by turns sensitive, surprising, and outrageously funny.

Cary reads a passage from the story “Higher and Higher” capturing a defining moment in a young boy’s life during a family trip to the beach.
