A Quick Primer on Wallowing in Despair

Steve Gergley

A death metal guitarist battles mind-controlling aliens to save her new girlfriend. Two desperate heroin addicts attempt to rob a CVS convenience store. An aspiring magician struggles to escape from the Church of Scientology after signing a billion-year contract. An alcoholic waitress begins a road trip to meet Lana Del Rey, who may or may not be her childhood best friend. A twenty-seven-year-old underachiever watches his body disappear, one piece at a time, the longer he lives with his parents. In this collection of dynamic and experimental short stories, these characters and others confront the despair, disillusionment, anxiety, and ennui that slumbers just below the surface of everyday life.
