Description

The Insomniac Reader explores the dark side of evening time. From Jim Tate's tale of a reckless businesswoman in a hotel bar to Jonathan Ames' experience as an outsider in a town hungry for violence, each adventure leads to unexpected situations...and tragedies. Long after nightfall, these fantastic contemporary writers shine their flashlights into a world that begins at the time when most people fall asleep.

Reviews

"Kevin Sampsell concocts a diverse, convincing world of romantic perversion governed by impulses at turns whimsical, hilarious and cryptic in a slim collection of very short stories ranging from one to 11 pages. This is a gem of warm-hearted idiosyncrasy and oddball observation." - Publishers Weekly, on Beautiful Blemish "Let Kevin Sampsell in for one page and he has permanently won you over." - Dan Kennedy"
