The Very Last Thing

Set in and around Boston at the turn of the last century, these stories mix the real with the surreal to take a wry look at contemporary life. There’s the lustful marketing executive trying to market his libido at a neighbor's garden party. The software CEO who thinks he may be a space alien. The beautiful model who is still in love with her beloved but dead boyfriend. The advertising copywriter who underestimates the wiles of the devil. The spinster librarian who gets to experience the dark side of “happily ever after.” The English professor who finds himself inside his own narrative. These characters, like us, all have one thing in common: they must all come face-to-face with The Very Last Thing.
