In his first collection of short stories, award-winning Vicente Garcia Groyon brings together characters discovering sinister truths lurking beneath the surfaces of the worlds they inhabit. A boy and his sister keep a grisly secret to preserve their way of life. A woman of a certain age entertains impure thoughts about a teenager. A young man in a ménage à trois simmers his loneliness into violence. A teacher struggles to break through the codes of secrecy that bind men. A genteel society boy confronts envy, lust and malice, and finds them emanating from himself. Written between 1989 and 2004, these stories trace the boundaries between grace and sin, baring our human capacity for both.
