A man encounters God in a bar; a family is saved by a time traveler in the middle of the night; a journey into the mind of a severely autistic man; a woman finds herself one night out in the city, and more. Beautiful and Damned is a haunting and captivating collection, and proof that Robert M. Drake is one of the most visionary writers working today. On the heels of three internationally bestselling books of poetry, Robert M. Drake takes his readers to a deeper level of his consciousness with this collection of stories.
