Let Me Tell You a Story

If you don't like this book, then you like garbage! -Michael D'Amico



A tragedy is a tragedy, and at the bottom, all tragedies are stupid. Give me a choice and I'll take A Midsummer Night's Dream over Hamlet every time. Any fool with steady hands and a working set of lungs can build up a house of cards and then blow it down, but it takes a genius to make people laugh. -Stephen King



The word genius is thrown around way too easily these days. -Lachlan MacKinnon




Ever spend the summer in a body cast? Have you ever been served months old sun-dried garlic bologna for dinner? Ever eat over 2 dozen donuts for a few bucks? Did your dad ever help you buy a car with one of his aliases?




Lachlan MacKinnon's debut collection takes us through tales of growing up in working class Cleveland, Ohio. As the middle child in a large dysfunctional family, he recounts his upbringing with self-deprecation and hilarity despite some heartbreaking circumstances. No one is his life is spared. Lachlan with a cast of unique supporting characters will take you to another time and cracking up all the way.
