A short story collection about Basement Man ; moody drunk, sometime rock climber, absurdist philosopher, raconteur of the ridiculous, rogue, and not-so-merry prankster from the North End of Yonkers (aka Junkies Paradise). An every-man for nobodies, he is ever adrift between the carrot of sobriety and the reality of carpe diem. Bowing only to the laws of Murphy, he can never decide whether the lucky ones are the survivors or those who died years ago.
Joseph Ferguson is an author, poet, and journalist living in Wingdale, NY. His work appears in a variety of small press, regional, and national publications. He also wrote propaganda for a living for a variety of entities for some 25 years.
His books include four short story collections – Southbound, Shillelagh Law, Tales Told by an Idiot, and Thoreau the Meter; two poetry collections – Reflections of a Scurvy Bastard and Destination Known; and a spoof of “how-to-get-a-job” books, Dave Doolittle’s Resumes That Work, So You Don’t Have To.
He is a former editor and critic for Hudson Valley, ran the Fiction Workshop for the Poughkeepsie Library District, and has reviewed books and videos for Climbing, The American Book Review, Kirkus, and a number of other publications.
