A Thousand Points of Darkness Jason Rickett

Here are the horrifying and surreal short stories of Jason Rickett, an author and editor for over twenty years within independent publishing. This is a place of darkness. You will meet a husband encountering the worse day of his life after the death of his child. Only to find things can get infinitely worse. A concrete contractor visits a doctor and gets some unpleasant results when unreality slips around him. Another man dedicates every Friday to being the sweetest guy. Too bad the rains are coming. What could possibly be wrong with a naked woman on an apartment renter's ceiling? Perhaps her sibilant wings? A husband takes regular time to himself to decompress in his garage. With a regular delivery of a pleasure android. Except his definition of pleasure isn't typical. But here also is a place of light. An older kids' baseball game is visited by a little girl with blonde hair. And Jacinto learns how to play well with others. It takes darkness to recognize the light.
