DISORDERED SOULS, Tom Bussmann‘s audacious new collection of stories. It’s a sardonic and erotic Spoon River Anthology set in St. Louis. The real-life “disordered souls” who populate these tales include Ambrose Bierce, William S. Burroughs, Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, Fanny Hurst, Kate Chopin, Virginia Mayo, and many others.
Using fictional first person accounts, Bussmann cleverly reveals the “forces of disorder and decline” that have raged around us.
DISORDERED SOULS is a devilish concoction —ideal for reading in the hammock.
