Brothers, Colm and Finch McAllister were always close. Raised in the subtle art of cat creeping, they took only from those who played by the same rules as them. That is until Colm went mad dog, leaving five people dead and landing him on death row. Now with only a few days until his scheduled execution, Colm calls Finch home asking him for one last favor. There is talk of buried drug money in the surrounding hills of their hometown and Colm wants Finch to find it. If he succeeds, it will breathe new life into the wife and daughter Colm left behind in financial ruin. But in doing so, Finch will have to go up against four other lost souls desperately looking for a way out of their sordid pasts, and a local Sheriff with whom Finch shares a secret that will bring them both face to face with the question: HOW FAR ARE YOU WILLING TO GO TO FULFILL A DYING PERSON'S LAST WISH?

Those Born in Darkness Never Seek the Light

The second volume of transgressive poetry by Philip LoPresti. Brutal, raw, and honest, these poems pull no punches.

I Am Suicide

Death Bird Poem

The job was supposed to be simple: get in, retrieve the bag, and get out. But after a botched attempt that leaves a man dead, Fenton Marciano is forced to hold up in a middle-of-the-nowhere motel, where he meets a young woman who is all too eager to fall in love. With heat coming down on him from his boss and dealing with a past that just won't quit, Fenton must ride it out while staving off his own ghosts - and to make matters more complicated, the insatiable impulse to give in to a woman who could be the salvation he needs or the final ruin he's been searching for.
