Throwback and Other Stories — Jack Remick

The stories in Throwback open a window on characters living calm everyday lives but underneath that calm there's a violent, bloody, painful, suicidal world and a savage god waiting for them to make a mistake. The hurt oozes up driving each of these people to find a way out-- The kid with a heart murmur wants to be a Marine. A guy finds his lost sister but doesn't know how to handle a fallen angel. A woman with a fatal disease loses all her hair and doesn't want to live without it. Looking for love, a writer finds a demon muse who rips his heart out. A traveling salesman falls in love with a surgical nightmare. Throwback takes you step by step into a dark world where the light is just an illusion.
