Violent CandyBy Tex Gresham
About Violent Candy

NEWLY REMASTERED IN 4K! Experience these sixteen stories that explore the violence people do to themselves and others in their search for love and purpose. There's a man whose only cure for self-hate is drinking weed killer, a woman who loses her daughter at Disneyland, an elderly man who falls in love with an ostrich, a frat boy looking to do a big bad thing, and many more. Take a bite and break your teeth on some VIOLENT CANDY. "The characters in these sixteen stories experience isolation as intensely as anyone in Polanski's filmography, and sorrow as interleaved with the modern world as anyone in Cronenberg's. Twanging notes of the bizarre keep the reader's eyebrows up, even as her heart aches. Throughout, Gresham digs relentlessly and fearlessly at a primary node of American literature: regret."-KATHARINE COLDIRON, author of Junk Film
