Synopsis
Stephen Kyle makes his controversial fiction debut...from AIDS to schizophrenia...from Communion to "coming out"...you'll never see things quite the same again.
Kyle's stories deal with people forced to live on society's fringe, from a naïve 18-year-old coming out as gay, and a young woman considering prostitution, to a mentally ill man trying to escape the clutches of a voodoo cult. Kyle's knack for weaving an alluring tale will draw you-building toward endings that are realistic yet surprising.
In the novella Falling Towards Earth, Jon Clark is trying to recover from his wife's death. He meets a mysterious couple that draws him into their strange circle. Soon, Jon's best friend Perry warns him with strange stories of conspiracies and cults. Is Perry just paranoid, or is there something truly odd about these people? When the mysterious David seduces Jon, he learns that there is no clear line between being straight and being gay. But what's more disturbing is the blurred line between sanity and madness—and truth about David and Perry.
Kyle's stories combine unexpected humor with suspense, building momentum toward shattering conclusions.

July 05, 2002: I never heard of this writer before. But all I can say is what a great book! How nice to find a writer who has a distinct voice, not just trying to copy someone else, or follow some other predictable stories. When Kyle's stories are funny they are hilariious, and when they are scary they creep me out. And there's some very sad stuff too... none of the stories are like each other. I am really looking forward to more books from this writer.
