Another new short story!
September 17, 2020
Remember the band The Dead Milkmen? Even if you weren’t around in their heyday, you’ve probably heard the joke and urban legend that gave rise to their name. Only what if it wasn’t just a joke? Did your placid suburban neighborhood have a Lothario prowling the streets at dawn, delivering more than milk and cottage cheese to desperate housewives?
That’s more or less the subject of my latest short story, The Milk of Human Innocence, just launched to the world by the good people at Red Fez. It’s based in part on recollections of my hometown in Michigan and the times we lived in back when I was a tad, though none of the characters are drawn from real people. The events that drive the narrative didn’t actually happen either — as far as I know. This song has nothing to do with the story but I thought you might enjoy it too.
