This book is filled with secrets—fourteen dirty little tales that dig into what we hide, what we sweep away, what we wallow in, and what we cover up. Be surprised: A grieving son shrink-wraps his mother’s body. Young children play with poison. Girls pull up their skirts. A nun goes on a road trip. Fourteen furtive glances at what’s hiding under the couch, shut tight in the upstairs cupboard, and locked away in the dark parts of a person, place, or thing.

Featuring work by Pushcart Prize winner Karl Elder, Stegner Fellow Michael Byers, and Gist Street Reading Series Artistic Director Sherrie Flick.

“Lean, jazzy and surprising... Buries you in the muck of a moment and dares you to try bluffing your way out.” –Pittsburgh City Paper
