Pitching Ice Cubes at the Sun: A Book of the Dead

by Todd Sherman

Darkly comic and clearly tragic, these seventeen short stories of strange fiction will take you to the twisted landscapes of shadowed imagination. Dead animals purposely thrown in a neighbor's yard; a shiftless hitchhiker stalked by the"Ice Cube Killer;" two scientists who discover a new color and an even greater mystery; a writer doomed to tell stories that no one will ever read. Sometimes haunting, sometimes hopeful, these unique tales run the human soul through the ever-changing faces of death and futility. And who knows what else?

I read this when it first came out. I met the author, Todd Sherman and his wife, in person, became friends.

I've never read a book quite as imaginative as this one. Some of the short stories make you do a belly laugh. Others might make you sad or cry. The last story ties them all together and suddenly, everything makes sense and you finish the book with a good feeling and want to read more!!!

You won't be disappointed!
