THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR YOU. From a period spanning 15 years, the works herein were a way of exorcising the emotions and thoughts that would have poisoned from the inside. Now, for the first time, they are collected and presented for the public. Understand, though, these stories were never meant for anyone else. Whether the setting is a desolate apartment building, a porno set or an everyday high school, it's still a world from the imagination of Michael Dunn. His characters, often struggling to survive even an ordinary life, are thrust into unusually grim situations which test their ability to adapt. The short stories and poems included in this anthology are dark and disturbing, but-at time-funny and insightful. And even inspirational. Despite their bleakness, to find the light in the dark is to know how to not be afraid. UPDATED WITH 10 PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED STORIES

In 1877, twenty Irish coal miners were hanged for a terrorist conspiracy that never occurred. Anywhere But Schuylkill is the story of one who escaped, Mike Doyle, a teenager trying to keep his family alive during the worst depression the nation has ever faced. Banks and railroads are going under. Children are dying of hunger. The Reading Railroad has slashed wages and hired Pinkerton spies to infiltrate the miners' union. And there is a sectarian war between rival gangs. But none of this compares with the threat at home. Advance Praise"In the tradition of Upton Sinclair and Jack London, Michael Dunn gives us a gritty portrait of working-class life and activism during one of the most violent eras in U. S. labor history. Anywhere but Schuylkill is a social novel built out of passion and the textures of historical research. It is both a tale of 1870s labor unrest and a tale for the inequalities and injustices of the twenty-first century." -Russ Castronovo, author of Beautiful Democracy and Propaganda 1776." Michael Dunn has created the characters that bring the 19th Century's Mine Wars to life for today's readers. Anywhere but Schuylkill will remind readers of John Sayles and Tillie Olsen and the best in the long tradition of labor literature." -James Tracy, co-author of Hillbilly Nationalists, Urban Race Rebels, and Black Power: Interracial Solidarity in 1960s-70s New Left Organizing "The Banshees of Inisherin and 1917 are two of the best historical films I've seen in recent years, particularly the cinematography. Yet the visuals Michael Dunn creates in Anywhere But Schuylkill are richer, more vivid, more imaginative, and more haunting and indelible than what I recall in those brilliant films. It's like the author transports himself to each scene and brings to life each physical detail, each expression, each emotion, and each word of dialogue with the care of a Renaissance painter." -David Aretha, award-winning author of Malala Yousafzai and the Girls of Pakistan, and Martin Luther King Jr. and the 1963 March on Washington.

The orb is the key to summoning a powerful demon on the magical night known as The Eve of the Dragon. Once summoned the dragon can grant unlimited favors if it is pleased. Three American surgeons leave for a well-deserved month long vacation in Italy celebrating the completion of their medical boards. They want nothing more than to lie on the beach and relax.

One of the surgeons is kidnapped by local gangsters and forced to perform plastic surgery on drug mules smuggling drugs and other items on their person. One item is a priceless emerald orb with magical properties. Uncertain the gangster will let the surgeon live after he finishes the job, the doctor steals the magical orb and makes a run for it. Soon all three surgeons find themselves caught in a murderous crossfire between rival gangsters, evil wizards, and a dragon all of whom are seeking the magical orb before the Eve of the Dragon. One doctor finds true love and another learns that the demon has been pursuing him since he was a child preparing him for this night.
