Caring and candid, Frank Castelluccio's stories were first published in Pangyrus, RFD, Avalon Literary Review, and Made in L.A. Vol. 5: Vantage Points. Moonglade and Other Stories takes readers to a tailor shop in Genoa, Italy, in the 1950s; Gravesend, Brooklyn, in the 1970s, "a neighborhood of Italian-American families stuck in a time warp"; a hamlet in the Hudson Valley; Staten Island after COVID and the Hollywood Hills in the 1990s. A suicidal woman seeks to join the loved ones she's lost. A gay man ventures into the world of hookup apps. An orphaned seamstress must choose whether to enter her arranged marriage. An innocent college freshman is charmed by a manipulative rich girl. A long-married gay man questions marital fealty without fireworks. Enjoy the breadth of Castelluccio's capacious heart and the resonance of his searing and witty insights.
