Collected here for the first time, three stories of violence, betrayal, and the dark temptations that dwell in us all. In Scraps, two people break into a junkyard and find depraved horrors hiding inside. A man contemplates killing his abusive wife for his lover and sinks deep into a perverse nightmare in Dig My Own Grave. In The Bass Player, a musician learns the heavy metal band he wants to join will sacrifice everything to be famous. “Rufty’s writing encapsulates a profound sense of dread and realism that few others can.” —Aron Beauregard, author of Playground .
