    M is for Mystery sponsors this event and will be on hand with books for purchase. Alienated, angry outsiders stalk the dangerous edges of their unraveling lives in the great American novelist's collection of grim short fiction. Lonely and frustrated lives are explored in this new collection from the National Book Award–winning author of Dog Soldiers. Stone's evocative prose treads through the murky waters of dead dreams and waning hopes, bringing out the pathetic and nasty side of people warped by addiction, sex, violence and time. The stories are witty and diverse and are all unified by some element of brokenness. Each character comes closer and closer to truth, but heartbreakingly, never quite turns the corner. You know they are on the right track though.
