About this listen

A Single Round is a collection of short stories from a hard place. Stories of moonshine and shotguns, obsession and transcendence, love and darkness, and the blindness of human desire. Each tale follows a painful path to one ultimate realization: The devil’s deal always ends badly and often with a single round.

The head that was found on the blacktop tells a tale in "Johnny F--king Carson".

Tommy watches his dream love become a nightmare in "Together Forever".

Fame has a dark side, "Becoming Famous" echoes the age-old warning, "be careful what you wish for".

A story of realization, loss, and transformation takes flight in "Redwing".

Never judge a book by its cover, even one with fangs, as a surprise awaits in "Doc’s Choice".

"The Grounded", sometimes the dream of escape should remain a dream.

A tale of a man who fell in love with a woman who forgot him in "The Dog Walker".

"The Ride" will make you second guess what you thought you were sure of.
