The Things We Bury

Philip Lopresti

The job was supposed to be simple: get in, retrieve the bag, and get out. But after a botched attempt that leaves a man dead, Fenton Marciano is forced to hold up in a middle-of-the-nowhere motel, where he meets a young woman who is all too eager to fall in love. With heat coming down on him from his boss and dealing with a past that just won't quit, Fenton must ride it out while staving off his own ghosts - and to make matters more complicated, the insatiable impulse to give in to a woman who could be the salvation he needs, or the final ruin he's been searching for. Writer, Poet and Photographer, Philip LoPresti, delivers a haunting portrayal of a criminal on the run, seduction of the soul, and the loss of one's self in a misanthropic miasma. Prepare to give up the ghost in this sad, yet personal endeavor into pure American crime, straight from the guts, with all the heart and hurt still intact.
