To launch the much-anticipated new book The Wild Creatures: Collected
Stories of Sam D'Allesandro, Suspect Thoughts Press is proud to
announce a multiple-author event featuring Dodie Bellamy, Robert
Gluck, and Kevin Killian.

The Wild Creatures brings together all the stories of Sam
D'Allesandro, a young voice whose life was tragically snuffed out at
age 31 at the height of the AIDS epidemic in 1988. This new
collection includes all of D'Allesandro's published stories
(including those first collected in the out-of-print cult classic The
Zombie Pit) as well as unpublished stories found among D'Allesandro's
papers years after his death by his editor, the poet and novelist
Kevin Killian, who worked with the literary estate to create this
extended edition of his writing.

The Wild Creatures explores a strange terrain of urban legend, the
power of sexual obsession, and the thin line where the too-cool
becomes the too-hot. Sam D'Allesandro's focused, vivid writing is the
stuff of legend: writing so powerful it drags the reader in by the neck.
