They're not touring and I've got just enough cash to get me to New York. Seems like fate, ri...

Being a vampire isn't all it's cracked up to be. Am I really supposed to just wait tables and sling beer to punk kids for the rest of eternity? I don't think so. Considering it wasn't my idea to end up immortal in the first place, this is definitely not the spoopy life I had planned for myself. I'm tired of being told what to do by people who don't know what the hell they're doing either and it's obviously time that I took matters into my own ...

The men profiled in Twelve Men are a diverse and colorful group: from Dreiser's equally famous brother, the songwriter Paul Dresser ("My Brother Paul"), to the entirely obscure railroad foreman Michael Burke ("The Mighty Rourke"), on whose work crew Dreiser had labored in 1903. The twelve narratives are compelling portraits of the men portrayed, but they also reveal many insights into Dreiser's own life and work. These factors elevate the sign...
