In this debut collection, Matthew Dexter embraces the madness of a mind lost in depravity. Throughout these thirteen stories and novelette, Dexter's lyrical prose exposes the chaos of the human condition. Consumed with depravity, disease, and turbulence, we enter a dying modern world where secrets shred souls into kaleidoscopic confetti. From cartels members escaping grisly fates, to fathers fighting for custody in clown cars, to children battling babysitters to protect hideous secrets from dismissive parents, jostling for freedom with fiendish desires, we see wounded hearts juggling demons. Matthew Dexter lives and breathes in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. An expatriate author best known for eating shrimp tacos and drinking enough Pacifico to kill six blue marlins, he's the Lil Wayne of literature. Matthew's fiction has been published in hundreds of literary journals and dozens of anthologies. His novel The Ritalin Orgy was published by Perpetual Motion Machine Publishing. Unfortunately, Matthew also writes abhorrent freelance pieces for exorbitant amounts of pesos to pay the bills while drinking cervezas in paradise with tourists.
