The eight stories in this collection, and the two short fictions that frame them, are about people who operate on the fringe of society, whether by choice or circumstance. At times tender, and other times unforgiving, these stories propel characters into settings and situations utterly remarkable yet completely mundane.In these stories we find the concrete, urban settings we are familiar withnightclubs, convenience stores, junkyards, and fast food chainsturned upside down and stretched into characters dreams and visionsthe imagined rooms of pen pals, a bar of dancing vampires, a neighborhood house come mad scientist lab. In a voice fresh, imaginative, and controlled, Turner gives us glimpses into lives we may overlook every day and makes us recognize that nothing and no one should be taken for granted.
