[TOMT] [Book of Short Stories]

I bought a book of short stories at a bookstore in Chicago when I took a class there last summer. I lost the book and for the life of my I can't remember the title/author.

One story I remember in particular was one about a many who worked as like a sign twirler in a gorilla costume and a poltergeist tornado was following him around. When he was alone with the tornado it revealed itself as his father! It was strange and stuck in my head!

The cover of the book of short stores was blue and it had a cassette tape on it.

It seems like a hard fine but I'd love if I could buy the book again! Thanks :)
