Trespassers

Trespassers, two novellas and six short stories, evokes desperate characters who have an amazing capacity to dream, hope, and surprise everyone, especially themselves, and some times in the most horrifying ways. There’s Frank, looking for love—and yeah, sex—in his eighth decade of life. Mort longs to see the love of his life dead. Scar will do anything to avoid real love, including destroying herself. The muddy waters of the Ohio River flow with mystery and death. Characters obsess over a rusty and rotted past with a Gatsby-like belief that all can be resurrected whole and perfect. There are trespassers and those who are trespassed upon. The reader, too, crosses a boundary of intimacy possible only in literature.
