A collection of fifteen short stories written throughout the late 1960s and 1970s by Johnny Stanton, author of the highly acclaimed surreal novel Mangled Hands (1985). These early pieces show Stanton developing the voice and imagination that would later define his fiction. These stories move freely between the ordinary and the uncanny, marked by sharp humor, psychological edge, and a distinctly off-kilter sense of reality.
