Machine for Hugs

A Machine for Hugs is a collection of tales embracing the everyday strangeness of being alive. These stories explore forgotten avenues and dark corners too weird to ignore.

• A lone gravedigger's life hangs in the balance between insanity and damnation...
• A pair of erstwhile goldminers unlock a horrible secret on their trip home to Kansas...
• A lonely boy creates a machine for hugs and learns some of life's hard truths...

All this and more waits for you in this fifteen story odyssey from Galen Gower, a writer whose imagination is only surpassed by his willingness to explore absurdity and fantastical new themes with a keen eye regarding the human condition.
