Life, Death and other Dysfunctions [Paperback]

Larry Thomlinson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 13, 2006

"These stories take you by the hand and lead you into a place where logic is turned on edge and the familiar casts a shadow where something weird dwells. Odd, disturbing and delightful, Larry Thomlinson's work engages from the first sentence and leaves you no choice but to follow where he is going." Walter Williamson, Actor: "The Longest Yard." "Mr. Deeds." "The Omega Code."

5.0 out of 5 stars Short Story Lovers Rejoice!, June 10, 2009

This review is from: Life, Death and other Dysfunctions (Paperback)

"Life, Death and Other Dysfunctions" is a short story lover's delight! Each is written in the first person and in such a way so as to take the reader by the hand and guide him/her through the respective narratives. I found this book to be a thorough joy to read. All so well-constructed and executed on the page that only the message of each is left to the reader. Some may shock you and some will surprise. While others have a definite moral to consider. I assure you that once you begin reading "Life, Death and Other Dysfunctions" you will not want to put it down. It is a unique collection that, I believe, belongs in everyone's library.

This review is from: Life, Death and other Dysfunctions (Paperback)

I thoroughly enjoyed Larry Thomlinson's first book. Most of the stories can be read in an hour or so; they are perfect for commuters on public transportation, like me.

In these offbeat stories you will find humor, wisdom, imminent incest, a seductive ghost or two, outrageous drunken incompetence, troubled race relations, true to life profane dialog; horrors, murders, mystery, and mayhem. What's not to like?
