Too Many People Alive and Not Enough of 'Em Are Dead: Collected Stories

by Dave Matthes

With "Too Many People Alive, and Not Enough of 'Em Are Dead", author Dave Matthes brings together all of his short stories from every "poetry and stories" collection into one volume. Included in the collection is one new short story titled "September 1996", detailing a single evening in the life of a serial killer. Other stories vary from tales of psychedelic, far out science fiction to post-apocalyptic warfare, from brief glimpses into the childhood memories of those afraid to grow up, to unconventional institutions of "education". The story "Halloween in the Desert" serves as a continuation of the shattered life of Lew Feranna, one of the main characters in Matthes' fourth novel "Sleepeth Not, the Bastard".
