Synopsis

2025 Finalist for The International Book Award for Debut Story Collection

The backdrops for these tales are sparse rural lands, from the Alleghenies to the deserts of the West. Farmers, gangsters, meth cookers, miners, cafe workers, lovers, and dreamers. And the animals that cross their paths, mysterious and wild.

Addiction, neglect, and conflict combust, ignited by the slim flickers of self-pride, humor, and hope that yet linger. But what haunts is tenacious and unwavering. And otherwise wretched.
