Sparsely Attended Funerals is a collection of stories that are reverently told by folks nibbling on an acid-laced fruit platter in a neglected funeral home before services begin for someone they never knew. They whisper tales to one another to pass time while a faceless priest sips embalming fluid and practices lowering corpses into the earth. Tales that exist in a dreamlike black hole adjacent to our own world, ready to consume or tarnish any last morsels of sanity. Stories told when there is nothing left to say. Impermanence. Contrived legacies. Quitting. An election decided by glory holes. A severed head as a savior. A mall candle that oozes carnal desires. Our descent into an agreeable madness is inevitable.
