A troubled young woman awakes one morning to find her deceased mother busying herself around her apartment….A man makes the desperate attempt to free himself from the year 1905….A hard-boiled babe goes joyriding with the Almighty in a 62 Plymouth Fury (God’s favorite) but she’s got murder on her mind….Vikings invade Santa Monica….A recently widowed man finds his house slowly filling with the soil from his wife’s grave…With a playful touch like a razor’s swipe, these eighteen stories explore the mysterious landscape that exists between the real and the unreal—a territory of desire, heartache, sensuality, of brief human connection and the devastation of permanent loss.
