David Leo Rice with Gabriel Frye-Behar

David Leo Rice’s debut collection of short fiction, Drifter: Stories, compiles roughly 10 years of writing into a single volume that screams—figuratively and, at times, literally—to be read as both a brilliant and disturbing reflection on a singularly strange decade, and as a grippingly accessible introduction to the work of an artist and storyteller with a voice and vision entirely his own.
