About this Book

Fiction. The stories in AGAINST THE HIDDEN RIVER, Michael W. Cox's debut short fiction collection, are "populated by the likes of male prostitutes, burnt-out teachers, Indian-American college students and bi-racial male virgins who] teem with hidden desires, lusts, pains hatreds and defiant resignations." Kevin C. Stewart

"These are bold stories of a tonic moral clarity, told with a vernacular verve and a confident disregard for passing literary fashions." Gary Lutz

"These are great stories." Cathy Day"
