The Silk Noose

The Silk Noose is the third short story collection by Marcus McGee, following Four Stories and Synchronicity. By far his most eclectic collection, it contains his usual twisted stories, including Denouément, Dork and The Silk Noose, but it also includes a parable, an operatic libretto and three essays, On Niggers and Squirrels most personal to the author among them. The other essays, On The Execution of Timothy McVeigh and On The Seven Year Hitch, were purposed to begin discussion. Named for one of the stories contained therein, many will find this album his most entertaining so far. 227 pages
