Decomposition
The good boyfriend, George, is waiting in Seattle, only he doesn't know she's coming. That bad boyfriend, Jack, is dead in the trunk of the car. Talk about bringing your old baggage into your next relationship... That is, if she makes it. Hurricane Katrina is at her heels, and though she thinks she knows how this fairy tale ends, there are no guarantees on this yellow brick road-trip. Her mind is deteriorating as quickly as Jack's body.

About the author
J. Eric Miller
4 books8 followersBorn in 1971, J. Eric Miller grew up in small miner towns Leadville and Twin Lakes, Colorado and went to high school in an Indian reservation in Montana. Educated at the University of Montana (Bachelor’s degree), the University of Southern California (Master’s degree), and the University of Denver (Doctoral degree). His book length publications include Animal Rights and Pornography (short stories) published by Soft Skull Press in July of 2002, and has since been translated and published in Russia by Limbus Press, and in French in 2010 by Passage Du Nord Ouest; Bloodletting and Fruits of Lebanon (novellas); and Decomposition (novel), published also in French both in hardcover and paperback editions.
After teaching literature and creative writing at the American University of Beiruit, J. Eric Miller is now an assistant professor of screenwriting at Kennesaw State University. His short fiction has appeared in a wide variety of literary magazines, journals and ezines.
The protagonists of Miller’s works typically set out on a journey — reader in tow — to escape a times of crisis for some imagined better place over the horizon; in this way, these characters are essentially American, exploring — and, in Miller’s hands— updating and subverting the myth of Manifest Destiny. The spatial journey becomes also an internal one; along the road, the characters seek revised and idealized identity in a disturbingly disordered universe that challenges not only them — but also their readers — with existential questions. An activist at heart, especially for animal rights, Miller makes sure that all his published works have something to say.
