Bad Seed Stories

<p><strong>A vibrant debut short story collection depicting the disillusionment that comes with being young and queer in Puerto Rico.</strong></p> <p>The visceral, wildly imaginative stories in <em>Bad Seed</em> flick through working-class scenes of contemporary Puerto Rico, where friends and lovers melt into and defy their surroundings—night clubs, ruined streets, cramped rooms with cockroaches moving in the walls. A horny high schooler spends his summer break in front of the TV; a queer love triangle unravels on the emblematic theater steps of the University of Puerto Rico; a group of friends get high and watch San Juan burn from atop a clocktower; an HIV positive college student works the night shift at a local bathhouse. At turns playful and heartbreaking, <em>Bad Seed </em>is the long overdue English-language debut of one of Puerto Rico’s most exciting up-and-coming writers.  </p> <p> </p>
