By Scott Morse.

Often times, there are stories that need to be told to change the world. Sometimes, there are tales meant to shape lives, to inspire progress, or to provide the spark of imagination needed to incite revolution. And sometimes, there are just stories for the sake of stories. Like these. Smack Dab will put you right in the middle of all the little ideas that have crawled out of Scott Morse's head and into various anthologies over the past four years, only to be captured for all eternity and caged up in this squarebound prison of paper! From genetically engineered pickles to insect-riding foo fighters, these surreal short stories will tug at the heartstrings and boggle the mind. A must for the library of any short fiction collector!

Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8-in., 94 pages, B&W. Mature Readers
