California Gothic? Bradfield's West Coast characters are the misfits usually found in Southern Gothic. These Californians, however, are plagued with startling new obsessions. While some of them are simply out of step with humanity, others have completely lost their footing in reality. The stories are unsettling because Bradfield is such a fine writer that he makes even the most perverse character seem plausible. One recurrent theme is that as some of these bizarre people become more "normal," they become less happy. Sometimes, though, the themes are so abstruse that the stories seem pointless. Bradfield is talented, but no middle ground will be found here; the reader will either adore his every word or quit reading midway through the second story.
