The stories begin in childhood and run into his early twenties. They illustrate his experiences growing up and being othered in different ways. Themes of neglect, addiction, sexual assault, and violence create a cycle of abuse that repeats throughout his life. Each story can be read as a standalone piece, but when taken together they become a tapestry of trauma and a life of addiction. These stories aim to highlight the connection between trauma and addiction.

- The Muckabout: Stories.
- Creator
- Parker, Matthew, Schwartz, Jason, Florida Atlantic University, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of English

The Muckabout: Stories is a collection of short stories that displays my growing emphasis on style and diction to sustain the reader’s attention within my work. This is accomplished, at times, by providing variations of tired, or expected, common uses of language (that is: language common to short stories that one commonly encounters in alleged “normative fiction”); and by persuading the reader to focus, most importantly, on the language and syntactical styling’s of the narrator.
