“Rausch’s writing is like a serpent. It’s lean. It’s clever. It coils around you...and then it strikes. It’s glorious, but be warned—there is no anti-venom.”—Chris Miller, author of Dust This sometimes creepy, sometimes funny new collection from Rondo Hatton Award-nominated author Andy Rausch (Layla's Score, Until One of Us Is Dead) contains twelve previously uncollected stories. These unique tales cover a lot of ground, from “Searching for Dirty Jesus”, which follows a larper (with the ghost of his dead dad) on a search for his father's killer to “Dracula, Private Eye and the Demon Skull of Badakari”, which imagines Dracula as a Phillip Marlowe-style gumshoe. What if a man with a gila monster head decided to try his luck with online dating? What if the government conducted a secret experiment in which they altered the color of people's skin? What if the corpse of John Wayne was reanimated to make a low-budget zombie movie? Find out the answers to these questions and many more in Ssssstories!, a powerful one-of-a-kind short story collection.
