Love is the lie we tell ourselves so we can sleep at night, but hate is the caffeine that wakes us up. In this visceral collection, Hank Fredo explores the world’s most potent fuel source, dragging the reader through a landscape defined by resentment, envy, and the violent struggle for recognition. These are not stories about forgiveness. They are stories about the scars we earn and the grudges we nurse until they grow teeth.
Fredo introduces us to a cast of the desperate and the damned, peeling back the layers of ordinary life to reveal the rot underneath. From those clawing for a spotlight that refuses to shine on them, to those trapped in prisons of their own making—both physical and digital—these characters have reached their breaking point. Whether fighting against the crushing weight of authority, the betrayal of their own bodies, or the raw, primal hostility of the streets, they share a singular, burning realization: the only way out is through.
FUCK YOU TOO is a mirror held up to the ugly face of survival. It captures the sound of the door slamming in your face and the heavy silence that follows. Dark, raw, and unapologetic, this is fiction for those who know that sometimes the only way to move forward is to burn the bridge behind you.
