From the Publisher
Five gritty, absurd and darkly comic tales. Five characters at a crossroads in their lives. These are very modern fables, with a great heart, a very biting sense of humor, and fully-fleshed out characters that you can sink your teeth into. "If you compare its cavalcade of kooks to you and the folk you call friends, it'll probably make you like yourself more."-Miami Sun Post
What People Are Saying
Tim Hall
When Ken decided to shut down Bully, I wondered what he was going to do. The Love Book is part of the answer to that. Ken has transformed himself in the last several years from a Menckenesque curmudgeon, hilariously skewering all aspects of pop culture, to a serious short story writer with a truly original and refreshing vision. These are stories that actually dare to be about things-that is, they have characters who are invested, committed, or otherwise trapped in certain strange or absurd lives who are looking for freedom and release. It's the basis of all great fiction, imo. (Tim Hall, author of Half Empty and Triumph of the Won't)

If The Velvet Underground's debut had been a short story collection, it may well have read like The Love Book. (Mike Bennett, author of One Among The Sleepless and Hall of Mirrors)
