A Novel by Michael Dunn
Based on a Screenplay by Michael Dunn & Chris Smith
A new vision of dramatic horror from Michael Dunn, the author of BEAUTIFUL, filled with suspense, terror and—unexpectedly—romance and featuring passages of experimental typography, DETOX is a unique experience in storytelling.
The age-old story of boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy tries to get girl back, but the boy is a bi-polar alcoholic, the girl is a heroin addict, and the plan to get her back involves kidnapping and ketamine—and an insistent nosy neighbor hell-bent on getting into the house. As the withdrawal mounts, Mat forgets his meds, forcing Julia to fight to survive against bad trips, Mat’s downward spiral and a mysterious watchman who haunts the gloom, while Mat unwittingly risks her life to win her back.

Collected Works by Michael Dunn
From a period spanning 15 years, the works herein were a way of exorcising the emotions and thoughts that would have poisoned from the inside. Now, they are collected and presented for the public. Understand, though, these stories were never meant for anyone else. Whether the setting is a desolate apartment building, a porno set or an everyday high school, it’s still a world from the imagination of Michael Dunn. His characters, often struggling to survive even an ordinary life, are thrust into unusually grim situations which test their ability to adapt. The short stories and poems included in this anthology are dark and disturbing, but—at times—funny and insightful. And even inspirational, despite their bleakness. To find the light in the dark is to know how to not be afraid.

The Screenplay and Short Story by Michael Dunn & Chris Smith
In the hallway of a derelict building, a young woman is dumped and left. She is bound and gagged. Alone. The door on the opposite side of
the hallway opens. Another man drags her away and into his room.
One minute. That’s the rule. One minute in each room.
As each of the two men wait for the minute to pass, biding their time in their unique way, they reveal more about the truth behind the game. And, slowly, the young woman will understand where she is and why she’s there.
The screenplay for THE BET by Michael Dunn & Chris Smith, available for the first time, is presented with the original short story by Michael Dunn.
