Book Synopsis
March of Time and Skin author Jeff Stewart takes you on a long-awaited journey down a dystopian vortex of short stories in Dead Birds Hot. Featured stories include "Wreckedge," where on a book tour in Philadelphia, a writer encounters an impaired reader with a bizarre obsession. On site with a framer's assistant in "Get Big," a young man's only highlights are fractured weekend memories of his shared slum rental. "January" embeds us into the mirrored collage of an oppressed bartender, while "Glory" goes deep into San Francisco's Chinatown as a young deviant gets more from his sex addiction than he ever imagined. "Retribution" takes a sideways stroll through Manhattan with Sonny, a man at war with illusions he didn't create and cannot escape. Wrap "Dead Birds Hot" into your grey matter and take a drive down these pages of sweat, dirt, and broken teeth.
