Bedtime Stories for Grown-Ups

Bedtime Stories for Grown-ups is a jumble of genres-seven hundred pages of fiction and non-fiction ... some stories included against the author's better judgment. If he had known that one day they'd be published, he might not have been as honest when describing his past. Here is a tome of true stories about the author's criminal and misspent youth, historical accounts of the United States when She was young, and tales of imagination encompassing every conceivable variety-all presented as though the author is sitting next to you at a bar and you're buying the drinks as long as he keeps coming up with captivating stories to hold your interest. Comprised of 216,000 words, you'll have plenty to read for the foreseeable future. This is a book to have on your night table, to sample a story each night before extinguishing the lights and drifting off to a restful sleep. Mr. Joyce sincerely hopes that you will enjoy his stories because, as he has stated, "It took a lot of living to come up with the material for some of them."
