The Book of Outcasts is a short story collection featuring dynamic characters in surreal, often imaginative worlds. The stories run the gamut; in one, the narrator is stripped of his job, his apartment, and his civil liberties for refusing a brain implant; in another, a compulsive gambler is so desperate to repay his debt he robs a casino; in a third, a writer, tormented by a pernicious doppelganger, goes to all lengths to exact revenge. There is also a film festival operator framed for ghastly murder on The French Riviera; a game show host who profits off a deadly pandemic; and a former nightclub comedian who gets abducted by aliens and taken to a planet where cannibalism is the norm.
Several of these stories were previously published. The Failure made Best of Across The Margin 2021. Whose Pandemic Is It Anyway? was anthologized in The Rabbit Hole Vol 5. Still others were published in literary journals such as The Binnacle, Void Magazine, and New Works Review.
