In the spirit of transgressive fiction the short stories of The Rejected Works of William L. Domme Volume I use blunt language and straightforward storytelling to relate tales of socially aberrant lives. The opulent and well heeled make few appearances within these 100 pages but the characters are no less rich. Impoverished mothers, narcissistic couples, a deluded madman caught up in his own mayhem, a band of thieves holed up in a sandstorm, and many more come to life by the time the back cover silences them all. Aggressive and to the point, what The Rejected Works lack in hyperbole they make up for in punch.
