Tanning Season is a new collection short stories by Kyle Torke. In his four short stories and novella, Kyle Torke creates diverse worlds where young and old, men and women are seeking answers. A girl carries her dead guinea pig in a tin box to her grandmother’s, hoping the older woman can answer her questions about death. In a dark alley, a boy refuses his first kiss though he had been dreaming about the moment all summer and, as fall approaches, wonders what he missed. On the paradisiacal island of Cozumel, Mexico, a reporter ferrets out the truth behind the coral reef’s slow decline and the slow decline of his marriage. A teenager mourns the loss of his friend, a victim of a freak accident. And in the strange, liminal world of the forest and dreams, an estranged couple attempt to repair their fractured marriage, but primal forces mass against them. Rich in language and detail, Tanning Season echoes with loss and the promise of redemption.
