Micheal, Tommy, Mixer, and Bones aren't just from the wrong side of the tracks--they're from the wrong side of everything. No one at their high school takes them seriously, except for Mr. Haberman, their remedial English teacher. Mr. Haberman calls them "gentlemen," but everyone else ignores them--or, in Bones's case, is dead afraid of them. When one of their close-knit group goes missing, the clues all seem to point in one direction: to Mr. Haberman.Gritty, fast-paced, and brutally real, this debut takes an unflinching look at what binds friends together--and what can tear them apart.

Michael Northrop has written short fiction for WEIRD TALES, the NOTRE DAME REVIEW, and MCSWEENEY'S.

From Gentlemen

Don't get me wrong, we've got some real morons [in 10R], kids who just don't get it. Then there's us. They call us hard cases, and we are. They say we donÂ’t try, and we don't. We're not going to be engineers or accountants or anything like that. We're going to put in our time, because you need that diploma now, even to work down at the garage. Then thatÂ’s pretty much what we're going to do, go work down at the garage or something like that, overcharge the same dipsticks we went to school with when they bring in their Volkswagens. In the meantime, we're stuck behind these little desks.
