“Dave Patterson’s Euphoria, is a beautiful, often heartbreaking collection of stories.  Each is vividly set in the same Maine town, but also in the deepest, most private recesses of the human heart.  It will leave you breathless.”  –Richard Russo, author of Empire Falls and the North Bath Trilogy of Fool novels.

“In Euphoria, Dave Patterson skillfully captures the ethos of a once-thriving Maine mill town. The characters who walk, drive, and fire dance their way through the town of Euphoria are achingly familiar, each striving, in their own way to find connection and meaning amid a backdrop of poverty, grief, addiction, and uncertainty. What makes this book such a joy to read—other than the empathy, wisdom, and humor imbued throughout each story—is Patterson’s clear, abiding love for his characters and for the place they call home.” –Shannon Bowring, author of the Dalton Novels trilogy.

“Throughout this ultravivid collection, Dave Patterson’s kaleidoscopic eye incites deep longing, mystery, and wonder. You won’t be able to shake the stories in Euphoria —they light up the brain and wrangle the heart.” –Lewis Robinson, author of The Islanders.
