Works
Three in the Morning and You Don't Smoke Anymore
Dark humor and gritty reality meet in a small, dirty house belonging to a man trying to escape his past. In this collection of intertwined, nonlinear short stories, Peter J. Stavros depicts the ups and downs of life and the pain of trying to move on when everything is a reminder of what life once was. With a protagonist that is perfectly flawed in the way any person can be, the journey of this collection is one that leaves an impression as the author puts us directly into the mind of this down-on-his-luck man. Three in the Morning and You Don’t Smoke Anymore is a story that doesn’t shy away from embracing the highest of the highs and the lowest of the lows, and shows that life doesn’t have to be that white picket fence and perfect family to be important and worthwhile.
