Old Man Evil is a collection of 12 stories, six of which take place in contemporary America while the other five transpire abroad. The flagship story, in which a suburban refugee finds himself in a New Mexican shantytown among derelicts and eccentrics, examines the quiet damage inflicted by social conventions. Backlighting the action is the millennia-distant afterglow of Sodom and Gomorrah. Set to Rebetika music, Pub Blues is an exploration of marriage and middle age that takes place in urban New Jersey. Chele Kula dramatizes the struggle against imperialism during the Serbian uprising against the Ottoman Empire in 1809. Straightsville tests the depth of a suburban heterosexual's acceptance of gay men. Hamlet's Ghost Sighted in Frontenac, KS, in which a mixed-blood Hopi wonders whether his uncle killed his father, takes place in a single hallucinogenic night fueled by cocaine. Tolstoy's Kunak revolves around the friendship that formed between the Russian author and a young Chechen during the Russo-Caucasian Wars. Mengele's Gypsy, is based on the documented relationship between Josef Mengele and a four-year-old Gypsy boy imprisoned in Auschwitz.
