The stories collected in “Nightmares & Lullabies” run the gamut from first love and burgeoning romance, to murderous madness and a dystopian America. One protagonist navigates the complexities of the high school locker room, while another finds himself thrown by the truth into a world filled with lies. These stories shine a light on the bittersweet and the darkly inhumane nature of existence, primarily from the perspective of a gay man at varying life stages. Some are joyful, some disturbing, and a few are decidedly surreal.
"...having the guts to take us to a totally different place is a brilliant idea and my favorite thing about this story..."
Beautifully told version of the nature of consciousnesses. Compact to the point poetry.
"...so powerfully rendered it makes you want to read the story over again to understand it anew."
