Heartless Fainters Everywhere

Frederick Barrows brings you 13 stories examining the lives of the downtrodden and discontent, in direct opposition to those who accept what they've been told, playing it safe and rarely challenging the status quo or questioning the mystery and wonder of the world around them. 


A widow seeking to find all the pieces of her dead husband; a leper cut off from the rest of the world during a time of plague; a corporate death cult on the verge of total annihilation. These, and other, equally arresting stories (featuring tales involving characters from the novel 'Hothouse Gods') reveal people living lives on the margins, from outcasts to hustlers, the disenchanted and doomed, confronting Heartless Fainters Everywhere.
