From the author of Last Stop Hotel, this new collection of multi-layered short stories, sharp and evocative vignettes, and contemplative poetry explores the dark underbelly of the human condition.

With influences from the author's upbringing and the horror films he enjoyed, these stories cover topics such as corrupt law enforcement, organised crime, doomed romances, alternative history, as well as tales from the Wild West and dystopian science fiction.

With the use of dark humour, gritty storytelling, and fast-paced dialogue, this collection is alive with intrigue, betrayal, sex, and , ultimately, reflects upon the failures of a corrupt society.
