The House of M.

M. Christopher Horton writes from experience that is not comfortable and does not ask to be. A survivor of childhood violence, homelessness, and addiction, he spent years as a transient across the United States, living in hotels, lacking stable housing, taking college writing courses between displacements. He is not a role model. He is a writer. His work is blunt, specific, and concerned with what it costs to be alive in a body that has been treated as expendable.
