A troubled young woman awakes one morning to find her deceased mother busying herself around her apartment... A man makes the desperate attempt to free himself from the year 1905... A hard-boiled babe goes joyriding with the Almighty in a '62 Plymouth Fury (God's favorite) but she's got murder on her mind... Vikings invade Santa Monica... A recently widowed man finds his house slowly filling with the soil from his wife's grave...With a playful touch like a razor's swipe, these eighteen stories explore the mysterious landscape that exists between the real and the unreal - a territory of desire, heartache, sensuality, of brief human connection and the devastation of permanent loss. "A humorous and harrowing meditation on modern-day angst... poignantly exploring love, loss, and the communication barriers between men and women." - LA Weekly
