From the Introduction: “This collection of stories are from the very beginning of my writing career. They are dark and uncomfortable and I make no apologies for that. Life is often dark and uncomfortable. Some of you might wonder how much of these stories are true. To that all I can do is quote one of my literary heroes, Stephen King: ‘Fiction is the truth inside the lie.’ The rest I will leave up to you.”

The book you hold in your hands is a sort of jalapeno-laced jelly doughnut, meant to be both savored and feared…Because while she might not be right in the head, Annetta’s stories are right in the gut, just as they should be.~ From the Introduction, by Joseph Paul Haines

Unfortunately, I guess you have to do them one at a time. :/ I’ll check into it and see if that can’t be fixed.

Thanks, Marisa! I’m so excited too, either that or I’m so nervous I’m about to barf. Heh!
