A collection of short stories hat deal with little daily 'horrors' of contemporary life.
Praise for B. Horror and Other Stories (Livingston):
**
"Beguiling ... Mayo, in his third book, demonstrates that 'horror' can mean something as simple as fear and apprehension, and in patient, sharp prose, he pushes his characters into small psychic duels, where people come close to understanding each other but can't--or won't--get there ..."

This is a collection of nine stories and winner of the Premio Aztlan.
“A powerful first collection.”
-The New York Times Book Review
“The language of these stories is superb: incantatory and dense with textures, images, and smells... we are there in the perfumed heady stew of other people's families and we can use what we learn of their puzzling myths and unknowable histories to look at our own."
-Harvard Book Review
“Highly recommended.”

Praise for In Lithuanian Wood (White Pine):

"From the ruins of a Soviet nuclear facility emerges an epiphany about the global violence’s source in the human heart. With satirical and lyric virtuosity, Mayo conjures an essential wonder: 'we were connected to things we could scarcely imagine.'"

Award-Winning chapbook of 4 stories. Released 2/9/17!
Award-Winning chapbook of 4 stories about unusual evolving relationship of son and nuclear physicist father.
"Satisfying and emotionally evocative. This collection of four stories begins with a bang but morphs quietly, beautifully into a contemplation of one father/son relationship. Demonstrates a beautiful handle on the progression of a single character through time and shifting points of view, takes risks, and raises poignant questions of family and memory, the forces that shape us." -Kate Barret, Editor, CutBank Books |
