==Reception==
Critic John Domini in ''The Brooklyn Rail'' noted of Appel's stories that "the rambunctious serendipity recalls T.C. Boyle, as does the ability to turn on a dime, now cutthroat, now huggable."〔Domini, John. "The Containable Apocalypse" Brooklyn Rail, Feb 5, 2014 ()〕 Sue Ellis in ''Prick of the Spindle'' wrote of the collection that "every story is filled with all the pathos, humor, and intimacy readers will come to expect from this author."〔Scouting for the Reaper: Stories By Jacob M. Appel Review by Sue Ellis ()〕 The book was on SPD's best seller list from February through October 2014 〔()〕 and was the distributor's best selling fiction book in March and April 2014〔()〕
