About This Book

Bird Brains Puts The Dog To Sleep, & Other Memories is a genrefluid and genderfucked anthology of tales about memory, trauma, and storytelling.

Included in this anthology are:

Movement Begets, a longform horror poem about waking up naked in the desert, covered in blood and infected with a narrator. What does one do with a ransom note when the only hostage is you?

The Traveler Monologues, a series of oral autobiographies told to an unseen traveler beneath a yellow-purple sky. Here in this desert otherworld hope and horror bloom from grotesqueries. From the wolves of the Hotel to the gimp suits and assorted cannibals of The Old Meat Factory, from the Dead-Gender Desperadoes to the starfucked cultists at the outskirts, we welcome you, traveler.

Bird Brains Puts The Dog To Sleep, the titular short play of this anthology. Bird Brains exists twice at once. They are both a twenty-something non-binary person, and a gay man who survived the AIDS crisis. They are here today to talk to you about apocalypses, survival, suicide, illness, and loss. That is to say, they are here to put the dog to sleep.
