In this new genre of God Noir - the sacred darkness in which God hides in plain sight where least expected - a dilapidated steam room in a threadbare men's locker room hosts strange and beguiling encounters. An odd assortment of gym rats and strangers discover unexpected and disconcerting healing within a fog of steam crowded by stories of sexual mayhem, betrayal, love, friendship, and fatherhood. Become a voyeur and enjoy the heat as a guest of Craig, the twice-failed priest who has a front row seat.

Q: When trusting your baser instincts threatens to strip your hold on sanity, who do you turn to?A: A turkey in the woods.I AnimalA primal force awakens in Tommy after learning of his mother’s impending death.

He teeters on the cusp of crashing into old patterns – but this canine has learned a few tricks since leaving for LA. Tommy engages his writer-brain in passing the time concocting elaborate plots and second-guessing his cousin’s livelihood – certain something more nefarious is brewing. And yet, who is he to point fingers when waking up covered in dirt with no memory becomes a regular “thing”.Amidst a neurotic, potentially psychotic, break Tommy is forced to face a past ready to plow right into his future.Reminiscent of Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye, I Animal immerses you in the head space of a Xennial neuroses.An amazing story of a dysfunctional family full of fun, laughter, love, and a sprinkle of crime.
