My Little Children — Keith Deininger

In the deft hands of Keith Deininger, reality is a fickle mistress…and nothing is at seems. With deep, layered prose, Deininger brings his dark children to life. A successful writer of coming-of-age fiction discovers a ghastly side of life when the mistakes of his playboy lifestyle come back to haunt him. After a brutal car accident kills his family, a man's world begins to change in first subtle and increasingly disturbing ways. A young boy plays in the woods alone behind his house, dreaming of what it would be like to burn it all down. A college kid out drinking with a friend meets a woman unlike anyone, or anything, he's ever met before.



Four stories unsettling, surreal and horrific.
