Turning the horrors of prison life into a well written tale, Seth Ferranti has provided us with a gritty inside peak of what life behind bars is really like. Minus the Hollywood cast, Prison Stories, gives us an Oz like feel, with a more in depth understanding of what actually goes on in the warped world of prison. Far from your average "man goes to jail and redeems himself" story, Prison Stories offers up a regurgitated account of what happens in prisons across America, without the fairy-tale endings which accompany many books of this sort. With the day to day monotony, Seth, puts on exhibit the struggles inmates face to stay true while remaining out of trouble. From his chronicles of boredom to his play-by-play detail of shank-filled drama, Mr. Ferranti leaves no stone unturned in his narrative. Following a young white boy who got wrapped up in the system for a drug charge, Prison Stories takes you into the pits of hell and back. From his first day on the block, to his assimilation into prison life, Seth gives you an unmatched sense of realism, of the cards prisoners are dealt from the moment they step foot into the cage. With characters that could be from anyone's neighborhoods, to the Spanish slag, Seth makes sure everyone has someone they can relate to. Read only if you are prepared to be force fed some of the most real and direct details of what life behind walls is really like. "Seth Ferranti has a real knack for sussing out a great story and he brings an investigative reporter's zeal to his research. I'm a big fan of his work and I'm looking forward to even more great things from him in the future. Seth writes with the bluntness and slangy-ness of street lit but with a much more penetrating gaze into the world of prison." "[The language in Prison Stories is a dense pastiche of slangs that is very effective, beautiful and intense." "An episode of Oz couldn’t capture prison drama the way Seth Ferranti does in Prison Stories." "Raw, honest, and gripping. A dope read, gritty, and real."
