Slumber Party Suicide Pact [Stories]

by Matthew Dexter

In this debut collection, Matthew Dexter embraces the madness of a mind lost in depravity. Throughout these thirteen stories and novelette, Dexter's lyrical and layered prose exposes the chaos of the human condition. Consumed with depravity, disease, and turbulence, we enter a dying modern world where secrets shred souls into kaleidoscopic confetti. From cartels members escaping grisly fates, to fathers fighting for custody in clown cars, to children battling babysitters to protect hideous secrets from dismissive parents, jostling for freedom with fiendish desires, we see wounded hearts juggling demons.

Reviews

[Matthew Dexter · Rating 5 out of 5]

This author is clearly insane. A bona fide literary fiction lunatic commandeering lyrical and layered prose. Too many shrimp fajitas and margaritas to the head in ethereal paradise.
