Nightmares & Lullabies

<p><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Nightmares & Lullabies</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> contains over a dozen short stories by Ronald McGuire. At times moving mischievous and reflective much of the work is centered on the gay experience at varying life stages. In Early Summer a boy's first crush leads to the joy of reciprocity while in An Understanding bitterness anger and regret fill the days of a man whose arrogance has cost him everything he didn't know he needed while Lullaby reveals a glimpse of the life after this one. This genre-spanning collection includes the award-winning literary fiction Fitting In the sci-fi dystopia of Farewell Hollywood and the bizarre horror and dark humor of A Time to Dance and The Not-Zombies Apocalypse. From the surreal to the sublime the stories in Nightmares & Lullabies are fearless unapologetic and rife with moral ambiguity. </span></p>
