About this Event

An amateur herpetologist gets swindled by women he meets on lizard-care message boards...

A dental hygienist takes a doomed trip to see a sham psychic on the Atlantic City boardwalk...

A gruesome gag gift becomes the subject of morbid fascination for a grieving woman who can't stop sleeping with her roommate's boyfriend...

With surgical focus and an infectious dark humor, Alyson Mosquera Dutemple's stories probe a vein of longing and estrangement. From oddballs and lonely hearts living on the fringes of suburbia to stunning abnormalities pulled out from Mother Nature's bag of tricks.
