Awesome review for Emilio Iasiello's Why People Do What They Do

Awesome review for Emilio Iasiello's Why People Do What They Do
I love reading Short Stories, and this collection by Emilio Iasiello, is a lucid and penetrable read. From the opening "Sharks" story, I was immediately pulled into the character's psyche because of Iasiello's crisp and vivid language, and the terrible phobias that lurk within all of us. Having a childhood fear of water, I immediately identified with the central character's plight. By the end of reading the short, I felt I was literally swimming with sharks, which is a metaphor for so many of our human fears. The collection of stories are told in the first person, from a variety of characters, all of whom are battling their inner demons. Isaiello opens the dark cupboard of human guilt and fear with his collection of short stories that will remain in your consciousness long after reading.
