Ken Brosky's first collection of short stories contains 10 published stories and 1 previously unpublished story. The stories collected within found an audience in Cream City Review, Gargoyle, Pif, Predicate Literary Journal, Barcelona Review and more. Two of the stories have been reviewed in Newpages. Both times, the stories were singled out for their exceptional quality. Of "I Can't Just Turn It Off," which was published in Gargoyle Magazine, Newpages summed it up with one word: "Amazing."

This is his first collection of published stories and certainly won't be his last.
