"Switchblade stories - some short, some very short - that uncover the bright and dark corners of ordinary life that we don't notice every day. But when we read about them, we may laugh, or sympathize, or shudder in horror. Twilight People may have problems, skewered philosophies, fractured logic and itchy perversions, yet they form a community. Joe Del Priore invites you to visit - if you dare!"

In this community there are zombies, clowns, vampires, and more scary still - the elegant female debt collector!

ISBN 978-0-9629311-9-2 152pp. Paperback.

Includes 19 illustrative photographs by the author.
