Description

A young Native American transvestite navigates the margins of hate in a small desert town. A modern-day cowboy in rural Canada encounters violent extraterrestrial beings with his only defense: a camera phone. A quadriplegic woman gets help from a supernatural being to free her from the grip of her neglectful relatives. A basement-dwelling computer gamer meets the super model of his dreams and confronts his own bigotries and social limitations. And, in a dystopian America 50 years from now, a battle-weary enforcer for a domestic terrorist cell questions his faith in the cause. These stories and more show the mythology of the West versus the contemporary reality of diverse characters scattered among its plastic shopping malls, soulless housing developments and abandoned dreams. - from Amzon
