The Bookslinger app has been updated with a new story!
This week’s story is from Grind by Mark Maynard, published by Torrey House Press. Convicts round up wild mustangs, a schizophrenic homeless man wins the jackpot and disappears, a truck driver with a child’s mind spends his last hours in the embrace of a prostitute’s photos—disparate and vivid, Mark Maynard’s characters intersect in the new wild west of Reno, Nevada.
“Throughout the volume’s eight tenuously linked tales, lives and fortune are lost, and the city of Reno emerges as a locus of shattered souls. Maynard’s debut collection bursts with idiosyncratic characters…packs a strong emotional punch…is strangely entertaining.”
—Publishers Weekly
