Synopsis
Spanning the era from the mid-1960s to the late 1990s, a collection of stories journeys inside the world of the diverse inhabitants of Knockemstiff, a tough, Midwestern town, as their lives change and intertwine, capturing such characters as the father who pumps his son full of steroids to relive his own days as a body builder, a psychotic rural recluse, and an incestuous pair of siblings. 25,000 first printing.
