Stalking your pet's former owners. Faking your death to get out of
paying back your student loans. Stealing your co-worker's cat to
teach her a lesson about hygiene. These are secrets and these are
lies. Sometimes they're both. They're also just a few of the
stories in Secrets and Lies, author Josh Gross's debut collection
examining things people prefer to hush up and gloss over.
In this book, you'll get inside the head of a cynical
competitive debater forced to logically justify the existence of
love, see an alternate history in which Congress banned heartbreak
after the tragic events of February 14th and even experience
abortion from a male perspective.
With Gross's wicked wit and wordplay focused through a lens
equal parts existentialist and absurd, you'll be riveted from cover
to cover.
In fiction, everything is a lie. Unless it's a secret.
""Josh has a talent for creating an instant connection with a
character and his or her story that, unfortunately seems to be rare
in the world of writing today." " -The Idaho Statesman
""The originality in his approach and his grip of humor writing
knock the wind out of me."" -Boulder Weekly
"" His] are the kind of soul-molesting stories that are
difficult to forget, and would be a shame to miss out on.""
