Prick

In his debut story collection, Prick, J Archer Avary breathes life into characters who acquiesce to their worst impulses. These cringeworthy, often hilarious stories offer snapshots of misdirected teenage angst, reluctant conformity with social norms, and the soul-sapping malaise of adulthood. Avary's collection examines what happens when prickly protagonists live their awkward truths but refuse to own the consequences.
