Wasted

Wasted is a collection of interlinked short stories set in San Francisco, centering on the chaotic and often tragic lives of a group of friends in a shared household. The narratives explore themes of addiction, self-destruction, and survival with a raw, unflinching intensity. Hornbacher’s prose is visceral and direct, capturing the gritty reality of urban life and the complex dynamics of intimacy and dependency within a specific social circle.
