F. Collyer Reed introduces a rich cast of characters to explore how dysfunctional strangers, driven by opportunity or need, engage in all types of sexual relationships. Murder, drugs, sex, violence, and betrayal-it's all here in this era of political correctness where trash is king. Trash (A Collection of Short Stories) is adult fiction about sexual need without the window dressing of decency. Reed's rough-and-tumble characters live life as it comes-without whining, flinching, or regret. Sex is nothing more than raw, white-knuckled satisfaction, and love is a foreign emotion. In Onica, a man's obsession with an older woman turns explosive when she extracts revenge after hitting the glass ceiling. Lester in Love is about a man hitchhiking to nowhere, """"walking meat with a name,"""" whose first experience with love might be his last. In Dreamland, Jake's sense of """"party"""" ruins the lives of those he comes into contact with. In Ilsa, unusual sex for breakfast isn't on everyone's menu; neither is it the main course in House of Moltsa. But sex is the end of the world for Rain of Death and the Twins. Sex is the ultimate irony in Raucous Behavior and Smoking Finish but par for the course in Tractor Foot. Collection Edited by Marilyn Pesola | Trash by F Collyer Reed, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
