    About this ebook

    Michael Hemmingson has been called “Raymond Carver on acid” by literary guru Larry McCaffery and “a disciple of a quick and dirty literature” by the American Book Review. Hemmingson writes from within the everyday man's murky nightmares, offering hints and then, dazzlingly, reneging on his hints.

      A five-star read. A collection of shorts that take the reader on a whirlwind exploration of various relationships from voyeuristic neighbors to broken marriages to high school proms that end with UFOs, from visits from her legless ex just returned from Iraq who looks at what he should've got, from strip club rendevouses after the baby is delivered to picnics in the park. There's a darkness and a threateningness underlying each story. Each one is just skirting the edge of the chasm.
