Violent Candy w/ TEX GRESHAM

The Talking Book Podcast

Violent Candy is a collection of sixteen stories about the the depths we go to find love for ourselves and from others, the trauma we obtain in childhood and carry with us into adulthood, the desperation to find connection in a world determined to tear us all apart, and the self-inflicted violence we sometimes direct at other. There's a woman who loses her child to Disneyland fantasies, a man who learns a horribly destructive secret about his new stepdaughter, an elderly man in love with an ostrich, a wife whose husband might or might not be possessed by the devil, a man whose only cure for self-hate is drinking weed killer, and more. An emotional mix of poetic absurdity, backstabbing humor, and depressive surrealism. Lowbrow and vile, but refined. Devastating and bleak, but hopeful.
