"A bracing debut collection that maps what happens when desire and control between men goes awry. In Misadventure, maen search for themselves, for each other, for the sources of sanity and sickness, power and grief. Grider challenges the conventional gay narrative and asks the reader to reimagine the kind of work short fiction should do. This book will grab you by the throat, but be warned--it may not let go." -- back cover.
