The following collection of stories and poetry explores the nether regions of the human psyche, that dismal, lonely place where morality takes a left turn into the iniquitous instinct toward death and destruction. Some of the words shy away from its borders like a swimmer dipping a toe in the pool to test the water, while others plunge willy-nilly into its abyssal depths, embracing it with the perverse satisfaction of a carefree cannonball from the highest diving platform. So, where did all of this death and destruction come from? I was definitely influenced by my own life experiences and many others who have braved these wretched waters. Writing always was and is cathartic to me.
