A soldier/artist loses his sister to the psychopath that married her. A wealthy senior citizen's debauched pool party goes horribly awry. Swerving unpredictably from horror to burlesque, from the hilarious to the bizarre, this collection of stories by the author of Midnight in Monaco is filled with characters drowning in self-pity and rage.
A veteran of the U.S. Army, John Sheppard's short stories have appeared in Bridge magazine, the2ndhand and Exquisite Corpse. He is a frequent contributor to ParagraphLine.com and B2L2.com.
