Alien abduction, time travel, and the paranormal create the possibility for unjust events to be corrected and murders avenged, and even reversed.
I've always had an interest in Ufology, time travel, and the paranormal. This novel somewhat satisfies some of my ideas and thoughts on how all of those things work.

I never intended for these to be novelettes. I don’t know about you, if you happen to be a writer, but I write a short story with a guideline of intended length. Sometimes they end up longer, a lot longer, than I planned. A novel is 40,000 words or more. A novella is 17,500-40,000. A novelette is 7500-17,500. "The Prostitute, the Crazy Pimp, and the Counterfeiter," "The Deconstruction of Love," and "Rooming House Purgatory" all happen to fall within the length category of novelette. I thought it was a good idea to compile them into one volume. It didn't initially plan to compile them, as I was writing each, but in my mind they fit together. Probably because they’re based on me at various periods of my life. In the book they aren’t in chronological order. The chronological order is "The Deconstruction of Love," "Rooming House Purgatory," and then "The Prostitute, the Crazy Pimp, and the Counterfeiter" if you wanted to read them that way, but I don’t really think it matters. It’s necessary to read any one story to understand the others. Actually, writing myself as the protagonist in each one, I looked at myself as a completely different character in each story just like I look at myself as a different person now than I did twenty, or even ten years ago. The question is: how close am I to the protagonist? If someone, who happens to know me, reads this book and thinks I’m not as I’ve described, I don’t care. Because, as Charles Bukowski said, “I’m the hero of my shit, baby.”

What happens when a stolen gun from the old west and a little demon from the Land of the Dead are combined with three misdirected teenagers, Jay Farragut, Danny Compson, and Don Smith who for kicks, engage in a ritual in a cemetery to turn Danny into a werewolf? When Danny disappears and people start to die, Jay and Don believe the ritual might have worked. The police close in, the perverse demon lurks in the background searching for the stolen gun, and a gang of violent teenagers led by badass Buck Mayer make Jay's and Don's lives even more difficult.
