Muscle Cars

The stories in Muscle Cars explore the unique and sometimes flawed relationships between men, their families, and their friends. Featuring a diverse cast of inarticulate misfits—including a compulsive body builder obsessed by the death of his brother, a former boxer forced to sell his prized 1946 New York Yankees–autographed baseball, and two boyhood friends who plan to steal Ted Williams’ scientifically frozen head—this stand-out debut from Pushcart-nominated Eoannou is a powerful journey through the humor, darkness, and neuroses of the modern American everyman.

Stephen G. Eoannou is the author of many short stories that have appeared in a number of literary journals and magazines, including Hayden’s Ferry Review, the MacGuffin, Rosebud, and the Saturday Evening Post. He has been nominated for two Pushcart Awards, was awarded an Honor Certificate from the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, and was honored with the Best Short Screenplay Award at the 36th Starz Denver Film Festival. He lives in Buffalo, New York.
