Description:
This is Schow's fifth collection of short fiction.
You might perceive it as an unblinking scrutiny of such topical
issues as sex, obsession, idol worship, penny miracles, policing
the birthrate, breast implants, mysterious phone calls in the dead
of night, pornography, eternal youth, and the price of devotion.
With whom -- or what -- are you really crawling into bed, in the
dark?
Or you might view it as a phantasmagoric kaleidoscope of sex, monsters,
empaths, telepaths, aliens, peewee crime kingpins, otherworldly
lovers, sentient art, UFOs, "rectosonics" and Mexican
wrestling.
You could behold this book's content as a spectacle of serial love,
hot and cold lust, betrayal, and relationships seen from both ends
of the telescope. Or a long hard look into killers, from inside
their POV and our, murder, mayhem, death and things worse than death.
Or you could just buy this book and find out for yourself.
