A dozen stories set from NYC to LA, to Asheville to Varanasi. Voices in the Dirt is a transgressive, darkly comical collection of stories, mostly centered around young men struggling with the specter of an incomprehensible world. A banquet server seeks enlightenment by being buried alive (breathing apparatus included!). The son of a dentist confronts an unspeakable horror at an oil baron’s mansion. Three identical families compete with each other to determine the "true" family. Karmic retribution is served after a tourist on the Ganges steals a human jawbone, from a beached corpse, as a ghastly souvenir. If you like wild rides without safety bars, then have a seat.

This is an amazing and unique collection of short stories. Surreal, haunting, playful and powerful. At times grotesque and disturbing yet infused with humanity and seductive beauty. Like a love child of Denis Johnson and George Saunders. Impeccably written and read by the author. Caskey dives headlong into the dark, strange and absurd recesses of one’s mind. He embodies the characters in the way only an author who is also a skilled reader can.
