A man’s midlife crisis unfolding in a taxidermy factory. A widower and his baby daughter visited by demons. A homunculus climbing out of the skull of a woman’s sick father. These stories exist in the borderlands between literary and genre, injecting strange and speculative elements into the mundane. Creatures, spirits, ghosts, robots, superheroes, and the Devil himself populate the pages, as elements of satire, horror, and science fiction enter the everyday tragedies of love, death, and loss. With odes to jazz and cyberpunk, spanning Pittsburgh to Argentina, Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before is twelve tales of the weird, including a previously unpublished story and novelette.
Available now from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Powell's, Indiebound, and Bookshop.org.

A++" - Ben Loory, author of Tales of Falling and Flying |
