Something to Write Home About (c1988) by Rachel Ingalls

Rachel Ingalls, who is best known for writing Mrs. Caliban, is a writer who taps into unsettling truths. In this book, she has collected several stories related by the theme of travel. In one story, a man remembers a trip that ended in disaster. In another, a man reminisces about his brush with a sociopath. A young man and his new wife stumble through their honeymoon in Greece in the title story. In every case, the stories are saturated with the feel of the places in which they are set. The characters in the stories, unfortunately, don't get much chance to enjoy their "vacations".

This is a book worth reading, but only for people who don't mind bleak. Mrs. Caliban would make a better introduction to this writer.
