About The Book
Description
Author
Darkly comic and wickedly incisive Kieran Sheas The Americana Psychorama is an assemblage of stories portraying a delightfully bleak but all-too-familiar America. A suburban man stumbles into more than he bargained for when he steals a neighboring teenagers drug stash. A teenage boy acts out when his widower father brings home a much younger clone of his mother. A thief discovers that karma can be both swift and random. And more than one couple finds their interpersonal conflict suddenly overshadowed by the malevolent outside forces they face. In settings that run the gamut from the historical west to a near-future post-apocalypse the characters of these stories-whether felons or lovers dockhands or diplomats vigilantes or frauds monsters or artificial life forms con men or survivors fathers or sons-are all in some way blindsided by the easy corruptions and outlandish hostilities of everyday life. Mixing styles genres and lengths The Americana Psychorama presents Kieran Sheas short-story writing at its best. Unique brash and wholly original. Praise for THE AMERICANA PSYCHORAMA: These short sharp stabs of the knife showcase a writer intent on showing us life in the cracks of the American dream. There are crimes gallows humor and the type of characters you wouldnt want to pick up hitchhiking. Shea will give you a shot of 100 proof served in a dirty ashtray and lit on fire. And youll love it. -Eric Beetner author of All The Way DownShea puts more heart and guts into a single story than most writers do a novel. -Nik Korpon author of Wear Your Home Like a Scar
