In these twenty-one comically gut-wrenching stories-highlighting schemers, dreamers, losers, boozers, stolen televisions, professional wrestlers, self-mutilators, compulsive masturbators, shoe fetishists, and a dead cat named Johnny Thunders-Brian Alan Ellis delivers a debauched world where sex is empty, life is meaningless, addictions are required, and nobody can ever get it together.
