In this dark short story by award-winning author Harry Shannon, a disturbed young man visits his comatose mother in the hospital. The odd title "The Place of Excrement" comes from a poem by William Butler Yeats. This tale was first published by Shannon in his Stoker-nominated collection "A Host of Shadows.""Shannon is a writer who is never afraid to walk into the shadows and drag the things living there kicking and screaming into the light."-Brian Keene"Master craftsmanship."-Cemetery Dance
