Nightmares & Lullabies: Stories by Ronald McGuire
McGuire, Ronald

At times moving, mischievous, and reflective, much of the work is centered on the gay experience at varying life stages. In “Early Summer,” a boy’s first crush leads to the joy of reciprocity, while in “An Understanding,” bitterness, anger, and regret, fill the days of a man whose arrogance has cost him everything he didn’t know he needed, while “Lullaby” reveals a glimpse of the life after this one. This genre-spanning collection includes the award-winning literary fiction “Fitting In,” the sci-fi dystopia of “Farewell, Hollywood,” and the bizarre horror and dark humor of “A Time to Dance,” and “The Not-Zombies Apocalypse.” From the surreal to the sublime, the stories in Nightmares & Lullabies are fearless, unapologetic, and rife with moral ambiguity.

A young boy flees a desperate situation and finds a new home, a new family and epic interplanetary adventure. Set in a post-war 24th century America, 13-year-old Charlie runs away from his abusive uncle, following an old road he hopes will lead him to the ocean. Along the way he’s joined by a lost dog, Katie, and fights for survival in the wastelands. When Charlie reaches the end of the road, he discovers the thriving and technologically advanced city of Arcadia, where he saves the life of head-strong Becca Kiel, after her illicit journey through a wormhole lands her in the middle of a busy street. Charlie settles into a new life, and his friendship with Becca grows, until their destinies become intertwined as they dream of finding a new home for humanity, somewhere among the stars.

A young boy and large dog walking east across a desolate landscape, the burning sun hangs overhead.
