Misguided Behavior: Tales of Poor Life Choices

by Leah Mueller

Dumpster Fire Press is proud to present the second edition of Leah Mueller's short fiction collection MISGUIDED TALES OF POOR LIFE CHOICES. The follow-up to her flash collection LAND OF ETERNAL THIRST AND OTHER STORIES. In this collection, you’ll find a whole slew of misguided behavior and poor life choices infused with charm, wit, contemplative brutality, and meditative comprehension. Even a chance to develop and grow in your manner via some haphazard literary assistance.

Not quite pulpy smut nor what is considered “high-end” lit but definitely not mainstream… Leah Mueller has penned a counter-classic manual stranger than fiction, painting with words the real world we actually inhabit through the reality-hunger guises one needs to shed. Between hardboiled and classy.

She has appeared at countless open mikes and featured reader gigs, and was the poetry slam winner at the International Women’s Day event in Portland, Oregon, in 2004. Leah divides her time between Chicago, IL and the Pacific Northwest, having considerable trouble determining which of the two is really home.
