by Chris Kelso (Author) The Slave State: A place where dogs tire of their lovesick masters and compose novels for benign publishers. A place where love and murder are equally important to the development of young men. A place where everyone is a slave to their minds and their hearts. From one of literature's most daring writers, Chris Kelso invites you to explore his mind-bending universe with nine short stories-a collection that challenges the boundaries of genre and the limits of the heart.
