What happens when men stop pretending they're bulletproof?
In hospital hallways and grocery store aisles, during custody exchanges and late-night drives, in the quiet space between what we show the world and what we carry alone-these are the moments that define us.
These are the stories that break us open.
Very Gentle Things Can Kill You is a collection of short stories that peel back the layers of modern masculinity with surgical precision and a poet's heart. These are midnight conversations, grocery store confessions, the kind of love that arrives like lightning and leaves behind scars.
Raw. Honest. Unflinching.
Essential reading for anyone who's ever tried to understand the heart beneath the armor.
