About this ebook
“I finished this book with my heart pounding and grateful, my coffee cold and my smile wide and crying like a baby.” —Daniel Handler
The characters in Praying Drunk speak in tongues, torture classmates, fall in love, abandon their children, keep machetes beneath passenger seats, and collect porcelain figurines. Ranging from Kentucky to Florida to Haiti, these stories enact the struggle to remain physically and spiritually alive throughout an untamable, turbulent world.
Described as an author whose “voice lands somewhere between William Faulkner and Stephen King,” Kyle Minor presents a dark, compelling collection of fiction showcasing the talent that has earned him multiple literary honors (New Pages).

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Very graphic, very dark, very real. A much darker read than I usually read but I did my best. It's good, strong writing and if you like this kind of genre then you won't be disappointed.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This is well written and a good book if you have the stomach for it. Unfortunately, I did not. It's a bleak and disturbing series of short stories that seem to work through some of the author's issues with a religious upbringing. It's filled it suicides, illness, and death, and frankly I had to put the book down once a kitten was run over by a car. I could not finish this one.
