Synopsis

Some of the stories in THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW--an archly didactic title considering the things in it that you've no real need to know--display the grotesque very much for its own sake. The extremity is disproportionate to any human message; the transgressiveness a sort of artistic complacency....But there is far more to Homes. There are stories where the strangeness is in uncertain but fascinating balance with those who display it.
