I scratch on the wall of my prison, daily, nightly, for I am a writer. Nothing less, nothing more am I. These scratchings, they tell a story if only you will listen, and like all prisoners, words set me, set us, free. - Larry Benjamin

Damaged Angels, Larry's first collection of short stories, is now available in paperback.
You’ve seen them, for they exist in every city in the world. In every city in the world, they claim as their own a single city block, sometimes more. And they stand there, on these city blocks, a confederacy of angels, slightly damaged, marked down for clearance. These are their stories. They told them to me and now I’m telling them to you. I will tell you, too, my story. - Pitch
