Nightmares & Lullabies

Nightmares & Lullabies contains over a dozen short stories by Ronald McGuire. At times moving, mischievous, and reflective, much of the work is centered on the gay experience at varying life stages. In ＂Early Summer,＂ a boy’s first crush leads to the joy of reciprocity, while in ＂An Understanding,＂ bitterness, anger, and regret, fill the days of a man whose arrogance has cost him everything he didn’t know he needed, while ＂Lullaby＂ reveals a glimpse of the life after this one. This genre-spanning collection includes the award-winning literary fiction ＂Fitting In,＂ the sci-fi dystopia of ＂Farewell, Hollywood,＂ and the bizarre horror and dark humor of ＂A Time to Dance,＂ and ＂The Not-Zombies Apocalypse.＂ From the surreal to the sublime, the stories in Nightmares & Lullabies are fearless, unapologetic, and rife with moral ambiguity.
