STIFF

Stories by Steve Hughes

5.5 x 8.5, 176 pages, $18.99

“Combining magical surrealism with downright grittiness, Steve Hughes’s astounding Stiff reads as if Franz Kafka and Denis Johnson hooked up in one of the meaner sections of Detroit and spent the next year together in an abandoned pizza parlor writing short stories. Yes, it is that damn good.”

—Donald Ray Pollock, author of The Devil All the Time and The Heavenly Table
