The Autobiography of Daniel J. Isengart
by Filip Noterdaeme

by Daniel Mueller

A City on a Hill
by Stanley Jenkins

"Stanley Jenkins' unforgettable characters roam America's heartland in search of its soul. If there is grace to be found amid nihilism, the stories in this disturbingly beautiful collection find it.
