J. Eric Miller grew up in a cabin in the woods of Colorado. That experience of silence, darkness, and depth is evident throughout the stories in this book. Typical is "Invisible Fish," in which a night clerk in a mall pet store tortures the animals at night. Dumbfounded, the storeowners bludgeon to death a chimpanzee, the only animal in the store they imagine is capable of such atrocities. An entry in the new series "Soft Skull ShortLit -- Pocket Books for a New World, " this book deals with the strange and often violent manifestations of desire with an eye to deconstructing and diffusing them. These are edgy short stories that explore the boundless human capacity for cruelty.

This book contains selected papers specially prepared for presentation at the 13th International Conference on Travel Behaviour Research. This conference, organized by the International Association for Travel Behaviour Research (IATBR), is the premier event where travel behaviour researchers from around the world share the latest developments and discoveries in the field.
