The thirty-five stories in Mooney\'s debut are dominated by a cast of characters who colour outside of society\'s lines.
Their depravity is real, yet the writing in this uncompromising collection of transgressive fiction, always carefully crafted, evokes the sense that their humanity is not yet lo.
Men and women, defeated by life.
They are the dangerous, the lost, the lonely, the sick, the suicidal, the broken-hearted.
They are hustlers, prostitutes, addicts, gangsters, killers, thieves, beasts.
