"The stories in Neil Crabtree’s debut story collection Believable Lies are bold, risky, and wildly entertaining. You’ll laugh so hard you won’t realize you’re crying. No one should be this good, or this funny, the first time out. Neil’s genius is his ability to uncover the sadness that underlies the comic and the grandeur just below the surface."
--John Dufresne, author of Requiem,MASS.
