Psychotica

Perhaps the most disturbingly dark and dementedly humorous short story collections ever written. Brian Keene, writer of the introduction, says of Shane Ryan Staley and this collection: "You've heard the expression 'Through the glass darkly'? Forget that. The looking glass that Staley uses to view our world isn't just dark - it's fucking obsidian. What you call religion, he terms mind control. Where you see a prom queen, he sees a crack whore. Staley is a writer that focuses on the positive. He's positive that everything sucks."
