The eighteen stories found within are mental and emotional excavations of fractured traumas, the awakening of unique pleasures, and the moments where we come face to face with the hungry voices whispering to us from the dark. Before falling asleep every night, a man ritually unlaces the stitches keeping his chest tied closed. A pair of lovers allow their strangest thoughts to invade and infect their lovemaking. One unsuspecting child learns why so many others are afraid of things they cannot see. A family slowly unravels as the father seeks his buried name in the walls and the mother unbecomes. The death of a child leaves a living, lingering reminder behind as memorial. One woman becomes unexpectedly aroused by a new and surprising happenstance. The entrance to a strange and deserted museum suddenly appears in the side of a city building. These stories are misshapen and deformed offspring; these are lessons that continue to go unlearned.
