Horse Girl Fever & Other Stories

<p><b><i>Horse Girl Fever</i> is a hilariously weird collection, part autofiction, part outlandish daydream, that celebrates the horse girl within all of us.</b></p><p>From cult author of<i> The Red-Headed Pilgrim</i>, Kevin Maloney delivers a vision of the world that is hysterical, terrifying, and true. A cuckolded husband finds a new identity as a ghost. A homeowner has a nervous breakdown while building a pergola. An angst-ridden teenager finds his spiritual equal in the mosh pit of an Alice in Chains concert. </p><p>In fourteen brutally funny stories, <i>Horse Girl Fever</i> plunges the reader into a world of misfits—inept drug smugglers, tattooed office workers, and philosophical strip club bouncers—who fumble toward the light but often end up flailing. Maloney’s writing conjures a dazzling spectrum of pain, joy, and humanity, peeking into the darkest corners of reality while high on Whippets.</p>
