In these eight stories selected from the author's Return to the Dirt, Just Speculating, and Occupational Hazards collections; outlandish humor, disturbing darkness, and average, workaday life come together for a unique perspective of the human experience. These stories exemplify the unsavory side of our everyday existence; our lifestyles, our treatment of others, our private thoughts, and even the food we eat. While these stories are layered with meaning,allegory is never the intention.Black, bleak, and messy as life may seem through his eyes, Sturtevant's objective is to find the humor in it, and he hopes to help you do the same.Occupational Hazards is an unflinching ride through the absurdity of it all. Not recommended for the faint of heart, or easily offended. But if meaty stories are what you're after...We hope you're hungry.
