A Loud Humming Sound Came From Above

A hellish prison workshop. A profiteering methadone clinic. A hotel where the suicidal check in to check out, only to find a terrible reason to live. Inhabiting these and other grim settings in A Loud Humming Sound Came from Above are the unlucky, the sociopathic, the delusional, and those who see reality with crippling clarity. Written in the same genre-bending, hallucinatory style that distinguished the author's novel Ports of Hell, the 12 stories collected here are a disquieting tour down the dark alleys and mean streets of modern life, where pulp fiction collides with the everyday world in a way that’s absurd yet all too real.
