Dig through the attic. Let your hands rustle past the old pictures of teen idols, love letters from long lost flames, and grab hold of your dreams-your truest desires-the ones you let die and rot in the empty silence of your forgotten spaces, the dark ones, where you seldom go anymore ...those spaces where you hide what you used to be.If allowed to, this collection plays much like the reels of a tape...the ones where all the burn marks and wrinkles show through, if you listen hard enough. The pain, the hurt, and yes, even the beautiful instances...those ones we let slip away amidst all the confusion that spins like a never-ending yarn throughout our lives.In this collection, author and journalist Domenic Marinelli has assembled the freakiest of multigenre stories, poetry and even a play for your delight. Delve deeply into the moments of passion, transgression, pain, regret and even enlightenment in this huge group of characters spread out across 33 pieces of work, all the while listening to some old tunes-ones you can only hear back if you find your old tapes. And when you find them, sit back and let that all too familiar fuzzy sound send you back in time the only way a tape can.But His Old Tapes (stories & poetry) tells us what can happen when looking back. In the end, looking back can be dangerous too. So beware, friends and readers. Beware. Because it's when we dig deeply through the past that we can find those malevolent snakes waiting to bite our searching fingers from beneath the rubble, and devour our souls.
