Seward's Fall

Twisted short stories from a town called Seward, a place where young men take dating advice from their dead mothers, parents fight to evict their offspring, and senior citizens become terrorists. In these darkly comic stories, a drunk's life is saved by his own alcoholism, a man takes fatherly advice from his daughter's suitor, a seasoned lawyer valiantly fights to free his daughter using nothing but his own incompetence, and a m nage a trois goes from nauseating, to murderous, to, well, kind of rewarding, after all.
