In this collection of beautifully disappointing short stories, no one finds true love, closure is a myth, and karma seems to be out on an extended vacation. These aren't stories for people who need a silver lining, unless you count the kind made of steel and denial.
Each tale offers a small, sharp slice of life where the bad guys sometimes win, the good guys don't always learn their lesson, and happy endings are politely shown the door. Perfect for readers who prefer their fiction like their coffee: dark, and bitter.
