Drunken Fireworks

Cover del CD audio

Dal 30 giugno 2015 è possibile assaporare un 'antipasto' di ciò che ci attende nella nuova antologia di racconti in uscita il prossimo autunno negli Stati Uniti.

E' infatti disponibile, solo in versione CD audio, il racconto Drunken Fireworks, una vera chicca in quanto è uno dei titoli inediti che troveremo nella raccolta The Bazaar Of Bad Dreams; mai pubblicato su nessuna rivista o simili nemmeno a puntate.

Alden McCausland and his mother are what they call “accident rich”; thanks to an unexpected life insurance policy payout and a winning Big Maine Millions scratcher, Alden and his Ma are able to spend their summers down by Lake Abenaki, idly drinking their days away in a three-room cabin with an old dock and a lick of a beach.

Across the lake, they can see what “real rich” looks like: the Massimo family’s Twelve Pines Camp, the big white mansion with guest house and tennis court that Alden’s Ma says is paid for by “ill-gotten gains” courtesy of Massimo Construction. When Alden’s holiday-weekend sparklers and firecrackers set off what over the next few years comes to be known as the 4th of July Arms Race, he learns how far he and the Massimos will go to win an annual neighborly rivalry – one that lands Alden in the Castle County jail.
