A man wakes to find his arm has detached and crawled downstairs... The Paradox Manifestation Department saves a baby from a crocodile... A mechanic dreams of fame and fortune while working on a car infested with tiny clowns... In these twenty-nine flash fiction stories, Zachary Dillon exercises (and exorcises) his penchant for the dark and absurd. Dillon's writing feels like what you'd get if Kafka listened to Talking Heads, or if Shirley Jackson tried LSD. But each of the titular "people with problems" has a beating heart, and many of their stories slip effortlessly from surrealism into heartbreak or quiet awe. Featuring fifteen color illustrations by artists as eclectic as the stories themselves.
