From fishnet stockings to lapel flowers. From transistor radios to lipstick to bleached-out skulls at the city dump, Kitsch explores the little things. The filthy, grotesque, inconsequential little things that make life interesting. The things we don't see. The things we don't want to see. The things we like to collect and keep in a jar by the bed.
Bending and Blending Genres, Kitsch and The Duskhouse flash fiction collections blow the lid off all preconceived ideas about relationships. Embracing a manic variety of narrative voices and points of view, these micro stories lurch frighteningly through time and space, from character to character, and from topic to topic, the words put to page, at one turn, a poetic treatise to language, and at the next turn a horrific and pointed exploration of what it means to be human. It’s anarchy. Characters, in the moment, expressing the truth they have come to know: Love, Lust, Passion, and Obsession: The Human Condition -- The Darkest of Deceits -- the ludicrous, the absurd, and the macabre.
