In this collection of short stories and poems by Tony O’Neill, you will meet a host of bizarre, fringe characters: Frank the Dog Walker, a junkie trying to score on New Years Day in a deserted city… the maniacal Dr. Ira, who has a special way of dispensing methadone to his more compliant patients… the failed writer Joe, who is about to learn to live without a very important part of his anatomy… The Chemist, who is cooking up a potent strain of heroin extracted from the brains of screaming victims… and the author himself, who chronicles his dependence on heroin in brutal, painstaking detail.  Running the gamut from autobiographical writing, surrealist outrages, political satire and demented sci-fi, SEIZURE WET DREAMS is an unforgettable ride.
