Mad World: Twenty Stories Timothy Patrick Kirby

A collection of twenty short stories compiled from two of Kirby's previous books, Rotten Bananas (2003) and The Lake Michigan Chronicles (2005) which feature unusual themes that range from whimsey to the macabre. The moods of Lake Michigan are diverse and unpredictible. So are the denizens who populate its shoreline. Each of the remarkable, unsuspecting characters from these stories has a date with Destiny. Enter their complicated worlds; join them in their search for truth and, oftentimes, brutal reality. You may be surprised what you will discover here among the dunes, the forests, the cities, or in the reflection of the water itself.
