About Graveyard:

"...it was moments like these that I felt bad for rich people. They owned everything and built monoliths, but would never know the romantic interludes that took place in them when they were gone."

So says Stud Calloway, guest services agent, in Kyle Kouri's gritty, literary fiction debut. Written by the best-selling author of The Problem Drinker, Graveyard is an LA novel about kids who hate their jobs, and make terrible decisions, but somehow are having more fun than anybody else.
