Ricky

From Whitney Collins, the award-winning author of Big Bad, come twenty-five new dark and derelict (and hilarious) tales about-you guessed it-love.

Among the lovesick and lovelorn characters of Ricky & Other Love Stories are: Dave, the miserable math teacher whose girlfriend travels to Venus for a midlife-crisis cure; Imogen, the sperm bank client, who cultivates the love she madly desires inside of her; and Aurora Flood, the coma survivor who is on a mission to plant a sacred seed from the Olive Garden. Blending literary fiction with elements of magical realism and horror, Ricky & Other Love Stories is both political and personal, bitter and sweet, and ultimately, a lot like love.
