Exceptional Wretches
What happens when two desperate losers in a dystopian city invade a gay anarchist body-building cult to get the juice? What is the juice, where does it come from, and what powers does it bestow? More importantly, can they handle it?
(Cut to famous film clip: man with bulging forehead veins bellows, “YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH.”)
The answers may be revealed in my story Exceptional Wretches, featured in the new anthology “Nightmerica: Corruptions of the American Dream” from Dragons Roost Press.
Editor Amanda Worthington says of the book: “The diverse voices contained herein lead you further into the disturbing, uncanny, and monstrous as they explore the barriers to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. In a time of unprecedented political and ideological instability, you are invited to explore the shifting terrain of Nightmerica.”
And although the topic of current events in the U.S. is a serious one, I think you’ll find much that’s amusing and satirical in my contribution. I fully admit I had a great time writing it, but then, my sense of humor might skew a little dark.
