No Thru Traffic Steven J Conifer

From veteran storyteller Steven J. Conifer comes this, his latest compilation of short stories, all of them sure to appeal to both old and new fans alike. Characteristically macabre, self-reflective, thought-provoking, and darkly comical in alternating turns, this fresh crop of stories never fails to engage the reader's imagination or to challenge her comfortable notions about life, death, and everything in between. Forever exploring the fringes and extremes of human behavior, Conifer here delves deeper than ever before into the dusky recesses of humanity's collective psyche. Capping off the collection are a half-dozen of the author's newest poems, as startling and evocative in their own right as any of the tales that precede them. NO THRU TRAFFIC is Conifer's twentieth publication and fifth collection of short stories. His novels include AND FOR THE SAKE OF THE KIDS, BREATHLESS, and OUT OF IOWA. His previous collections are PITCH BLACK, BEING ALONE TOGETHER, DEEP COLD, CALL ME ANYTIME, and DECADES (poetry). All told, to date Conifer has sold over 12,000 copies of his books, both in paperback and digital formats.
