Press 53's 100th Title, In a World of Small Truths By Ray Morrison

Press 53 is an award-winning independent publisher of poetry and short story collections based in Winston-Salem. It opened its doors in October of 2005 and in 2012 published its 100^th title: In a World of Small Truths, by Ray Morrison. Ray spent much of his childhood in Brooklyn, but headed south soon after college, earned his degree in veterinary medicine, and happily settled in Winston-Salem, with his wife and three children. When he's not writing short stories, Ray ministers to the needs of dogs, cats, and rodents. His fiction has appeared in Fiction Southeast, Word Riot, Night Train, and others. Press 53 founding editor Kevin Morgan Watson has collaborated with writers from newbies setting off on their first book to Pulitzer Prize winners. He's not big on market trends and publishes writing that hits him at a gut level, like the first tale in Ray's new book. The powerful short story is titled Laid to Rest, and it comes with a bizarre twist.
