Voices in the Dirt is a transgressive, darkly comical collection of stories, mostly centered around young men struggling with the specter of an incomprehensible world.

Karmic retribution is served after a tourist on the Ganges steals a human jawbone as a ghastly souvenir. If you like wild rides without safety bars, then have a seat.

Retired sheriff Owen Parson has been called back home to bury his father. His mother, eldest brother, and young sister are in attendance, but his younger brother Gil Parson is nowhere to be found. Gil is a gambler and a drunkard who frequents the seedy saloons and whorehouses of wild Arizona. When Owen Parson arrives at the town of Prescott, he finds his brother sobering up inside a jail cell. Gil has been arrested on suspicion of murder, a charge that he adamantly denies.
