Description

"Viral Stories takes a poignant look at our modern era of self-obsession, fleeting fame, and increasing disconnection... Dusting delivers a raw and timely read." - SPR, ★★★★

Have you ever dreamed of going viral? How far would you go for a million Instagram followers? Alan is a humble poet with scarred lips; Mark is a flamboyant and successful singer in a rock band; Luke is a depressed comedian who refuses to perform. Viral is the exhilarating story of three young men hell-bent on getting famous. But when COVID-19 hits, everything goes haywire. Who will make their dreams come true?

Included in this book are four more short stories by Cameron Dusting. A Czech woman recalls the story of her family; two idiots have a really big night; a fairy-tale town is haunted by its bottomless lake; a courageous partygoer saves a stranger. Each of these stories has enjoyed online popularity, and Viral Stories compiles them for the first time.
