First released in 2002, THOSE LITTLE BASTARDS is a collection of sixteen short stories by E. Christopher Clark, the introduction to a shared universe that is populated by characters both heartwarming and disturbing. Here you will find a sweet old landlady chafing under the rule of a false god; a twisted and lonely man who talks to computers with his mind; a piano instructor who sleeps with his students, but wonders whether his daughter is safe from men like him; and a husband sent to the doghouse, who discovers two weirdoes, a shovel, and lots of open land.
