A collection of a dozen stories, four of which have been previously published in small press litmags. Most of these stories are mainstream/literary fiction, but there are some dark and quirky tales included. The stories in this volume are "Fawn," "Howdy Doody Time," "Melody," "Victim of Crime," "Carnival," "Surface Tension," "Hero," "Listen," "Radio Waves," which is a little kinky in the consenting adult sense, "The Philosopher," a new story written for this collection, and two stories from 1974: "The Girl With the Stringy Hair," and "Daisy Cup," a novella.
