The Wild Creatures: Collected Stories of Sam D'Allesandro

Front Cover
Suspect Thoughts Press, 2005 - Fiction - 157 pages
The Wild Creatures brings together all the stories of Sam D?Allesandro, a young voice whose life was tragically snuffed out at age 31 at the height of the AIDS epidemic in 1988. This new collection includes all of D?Allesandro's published stories (including those first collected in the out-of-print cult classic The Zombie Pit) as well as unpublished stories found among D?Allesandro's papers years after his death by his editor, the poet and novelist Kevin Killian, who worked with the literary estate to create this extended edition of his writing. The Wild Creatures explores a strange terrain of urban legend, the power of sexual obsession, and the thin line where the too-cool becomes the too-hot. Sam D?Allesandro's focused, vivid writing is the stuff of legend: writing so powerful it drags the reader in by the neck.
