A collection of quaint and quirky speculative fictions, Y.M. Valentonis' Short Stories Without Provocation are experimental narratives from the beginnings of history to today's coffe blog post. These cozy-horror, bizarro-folklore, and slipstream tales have a Southern Acid Gothic flare. The eight sections are thematic patchwork story composites expanding upon each other.

Genres and narratives are reenvisioned like a recipe cookbook that addresses overwhelming Existential dread.

The private detective who works in Hell continues to investigate the nature of questioning itself. People live inside punctuation, contructing sentences to meet each other. The Pacific Trash Patch has declared itself a sovereign nation encouraging all garabage to revolt. And somehow people still have survive weeds and trash when they go shopping during the apocalypse. James Joyce's sprirtual essence writes a coffee blog with the right soundtrack. This assemblage of prose is a journey to the Fey-realms through the apocalypse.
