Human Secrets #2
Human Secrets: Book Two
Once again Toronto's most notorious street author opens his secret files for another volume of HUMAN SECRETS. The three stories in this collection represent Crad Kilodney at his satiric, serious, and surprising best.
"West Quaco," "The Dobbins File (#31001)," and "Rainy Night" are appearing in print for the first time. What they are about will not be mentioned here. It suffices to say that Kilodney's vision is that of a world gone mad, a world whose facade of normality belies an ocean of human secrets, both comic and tragic.

About the author
Crad Kilodney
36 books11 followersCrad Kilodney (1948-2014) was the pen name of Lou Trifon, an American-born Canadian writer who lived for many years in Toronto.
Kilodney obtained a degree in astronomy, but instead of working in that field he took a job at Exposition Press, a self-publishing company. Many of his experiences in that job, and with vanity publishing in general, shaped his outlook on fiction and provided him with material for many stories.
After moving to Canada in 1973 he worked at a number of other book publishers and while doing so decided that it might be best to reach people by publishing his books under his own Charnel House imprint and selling them face-to-face on the street. This he did from 1978 through 1995, and published over thirty books in this manner.
In 1991 Kilodney was charged with selling commercial goods without a license, making him the only Canadian writer ever charged for selling his own writing.
He retired from writing books in 1995.

Three stories, the best of which is "Rainy Night." The other two stories are not that good.
