Just Fiction
by Moore, Levi C., M.A., TRUMAN STATE UNIVERSITY, 2008, 82 pages; 1455884

Abstract:

The following is a collection of short stories completed during my time at Truman State University. These stories deal primarily with what I see as the fears and desires that confront our culture and our psyches on a daily basis—the stimuli that drive us toward action, be it righteous or repugnant. Through the use of the grotesque, these fears and desires are amplified to an absurdist level in order to make their true impact more transparent.
