A virtuosic collection of stories followed by the sharp blade of a killer novella as the final act. Gerard Biancos stories do not creep up on you: they fall upon you like a raptor plummeting, wings folded, golden eye ablaze.

"Compelling!"-Christopher Kompanek Meet Harold Jenkins, a sexually frustrated man. Essentially isolated in his New York City apartment, he is helpless against the powers that control his every hour. He's stuck in a rut of old habits, and that's making things difficult with Lilly, his less-than-generous lady love. But for Harold, new possibilities arrive in the appearance of a mysterious stranger. He can't quite figure out how to respond to this strange person he finds sniffling on his stove in the middle of the night.

Harold has no problems taking matters into his own hands-and that's part of the problem. Discipline is a madcap comedy with a sympathetic mix of wit, banter, love, and frustration that flirts with the obsessions that can drive a man to madness.
