Dark tales of twisted youth gone astray are featured in this edgy collection of stories. "A razor-eyed examination of the beauty found in vileness, and vice versa."--Poppy Z. Brite, author of "Lost Souls."

Edgy and ironic, Clint Catalyst exposes the underside of all his many subjects -- gay relationships, backwater adolescence, and spiraling addiction. Whether he's writing about a chance sexual encounter at a Goth club called Lilith ("Some New Kind of Kick") or revealing the inner thoughts of young hustlers in Hollywood ("Metaphor, and Remorse"), Catalyst unearths the trashy truth in his characters' unconventional lives.
