Speer Morgan shares his powerful memories through short fiction that moves from the sloughs of mid-Arkansas to the fifth floor of a wholesale hardware company that overlooks Indian Territory, to a house haunted by a bad cat, to the living room of a woman suffering the worst headache of her life, to a sewage pond where two good ole boys are hunting for frogs. The contemporary freestyle narration Morgan uses is suspenseful, humorous, natural, and conversational. In some of the tales he weaves fantasy into reality; in others he captures the cruelty of life's underside.
