Promiscuous Ruin

In the decaying frontier, two hunters grapple with intimacy and repressed desire.

In Promiscuous Ruin, deer hunters Lemuel and Lars navigate the rugged backwoods, haunted by missing mothers and stern fathers. They thwart attempts at intimacy, channeling their desires into fantasies of violence and revenge. Brief moments of sublimity offer glimpses of solace, but a blizzard of repressed longing threatens to consume them.

Can the wilderness offer healing for their earthbound wounds? This collection explores themes of masculinity, loss, and the search for connection in a harsh landscape. Perfect for readers of poetry and literary fiction.
