This collection includes gonzo journalism, flash fiction, creative nonfiction, horror, erotica, and slipstream. Check out the indoor Christmas tree that avoids giving up the ghost and grows roots. Don't miss the ghost Olga who appears in the sauna and the strange tale of the Vista Inn. The award-winning creative nonfiction pieces focus on the true story adventures of the writer's Hawaiian grandmother and teenage Hansen's Disease patients forced to live at the Kalaupapa Colony on Moloka'i. Reoccurring characters help unify the book. This title is a great primer for would-be writers because it offers a multi-genre overview of the literature.
