Amazon.com description: Product Description: A stark and stunningly realized post-grunge novel in the tradition of John Rechy's City of Night. Set in the Pacific Northwest, the book follows a small bunch of drugged-out street kids. With astonishingly gritty depictions of America's underside, the author brilliantly captures daily existence for these anesthetized teens and includes hypnotic scenes of gay and straight sex--usually performed for cash or drugs. It is a powerful and original novel and as real as the kids sleeping on the streets in any city or town in America.
