Ghosts of the American Dream

The hidden meaning of our lives often lies buried in the circumstances that we fail to examine in our minds and hearts. Ghosts of the American Dream explores this preternatural sense in 19 stories of people in the midst of the darkest revelations of their own American dreams. In this exceptional collection of literary fiction, prize winning short story writer Lawrence Buentello's poetic realism defines the ways in which the promise of life in America often becomes compromised by the strange and unforeseen influences of an unpredictable culture.
