Trash

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.</p><p><I>Trash (A Collection of Short Stories)</I> 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.</p><p>In <I>Onica</I> a man's obsession with an older woman turns explosive when she extracts revenge after hitting the glass ceiling. <I>Lester in Love</I> is about a man hitchhiking to nowhere walking meat with a name whose first experience with love might be his last. In <I>Dreamland</I> Jake's sense of party ruins the lives of those he comes into contact with. In <I>Ilsa</I> unusual sex for breakfast isn't on everyone's menu; neither is it the main course in <I>House of Moltsa</I>. But sex is the end of the world for <I>Rain of Death and the Twins</I>. Sex is the ultimate irony in <I>Raucous Behavior</I> and <I>Smoking Finish</I> but par for the course in <I>Tractor Foot</I>.</p><p>Collection Edited by Marilyn Pesola
