In these five new stories from notable literary genius Jonathan Balog, the reader is pulled into a surreal world where the line between the humorous and the tragic is blurry and debatable.
The Deviant - A man experiences a mental breakdown, and crosses over from what society deems acceptable to a private world of forbidden pleasure.
Inaugural - A father-son outing reveals itself to have deeper implications than the father expected.
Charlie - A college student tries desperately to maintain control of his life, despite being repeatedly targeted for murder by a classmate.
The Man Who Sold Flowers - A strange man who runs a flower stand during the night shift knows much more about his customers than they realize.
The Truth - A private eye searching for meaning in his life discovers a self-help book which he believes will solve all his problems.
The tales unfold like episodes of The Outer Limits co-written by Kurt Vonnegut, punctuated with the kind of paranoia one would find in Franz Kafka's journal after a trip to the zoo. All in all a wildly entertaining read that is well worth your money. Please? Rent's due. They're gonna throw me out on the street.
