Short description

David was different and he hated it. Repetitive behaviors helped him escape the horrors of the old house. He painted sunsets habitually. He counted by twos, threes, and sevens. He built worlds in his dreams. Thought by thought, brick by brick, he created a castle underground in which to live. Then the shadow men came. They stood over him at night. They spoke in slithers and they wanted him dead.

“2, 5, 12, 14, 17, 24, 26, 29, 36….”

People Pie consists of fifty stories of magic realism, slipstream horror, and stress.
Lucid dreams, creationist philosophy, and ancient myths bind the tales where, at dawn, the world becomes a circus and no one seems to notice. Written over a thirty year period, People Pie is not made of pieces but of threads. It may be considered a fictionalized self-help manual for the insane or the otherwise unordinary.
