This short story collection from novelist Paul A. Toth (Airplane Novel, Fizz, Fishnet, Finale) has been overdue since before his novels began coming out more than a decade ago. One of the most prolific short story writers among those working the first generation of online literary magazines at the turn of the 21st century, and ever since, Toth writes about decline, widely and generally, with a sense of humor tinged with absurdism and an unflinching honesty in his empathy for enormously flawed characters. The messy humanity on offer here, however, is ultimately not without hope of happiness, of purpose and love, our best reasons for being. "One of those books that, if history is kind, I'd wager will resonate years, decades, centuries hence itself, well beyond whatever fall is in store for each and every one of us near- and/or long-term to turn us all into refugees.... To immerse oneself in Toth's fictions is to be convinced of and accept such notions about yourself willingly, nay, jubilantly, cackling all the way to the grave. Decline, widely and generally, amid otherwise teeming advance.... Yet the messy humanity on offer in these stories is ultimately not without hope of happiness, of purpose and love." --Todd Dills, author of "Triumph of the Ape," "Sons of the Rapture," writing in the introduction
