Short Stories, Grim Tales & Flat-Out Debauchery

By Jay Gates

Eleven seemingly disconnected short stories intertwine through the presence of a single enigmatic figure. Equal parts humorous and horrifying, each story a glimpse into a life unordinary: A son trying to fit in with his dysfunctional family, a famous tourist trap that houses a dark secret, the unconventional relationships that can develop between the sexes, the absurdity of teaching in the public school system, an urban legend involving one of the most revered presidents in American history, a drifter, a whore and a dumpster baby, a heist during the rolling blackouts of California's power crisis, a tour guide you'd follow anywhere, an antique clock that tells more than the time, a husband on trial for the murder of his wife, and the chilling realization that the Boogey Man is real. Playfully quick, dark, disturbing, and laced with irreverent humor, Short Stories, Grim Tales & Flat-out Debauchery is the first published works from veteran standup comedian, producer, director and Emmy(TM)-nominated host Jay Gates.
