In this collection of new and previously published stories, Eric Stoveken offers an eclectic series of offbeat tales. From the star-crossed obsessives of Fastidious to the hard living yuppies in Bingo, Guns and Mescal, this is a world populated by discreet lunatics and secret messiahs. It's a world where trapeze artists bleed for their craft, baseball players wallow in existential ennui and we are all just one great omelet away from Armageddon.
