Closing in on his fiftieth birthday, Harold was on fire as he sat at The Hot Spot Lounge on Chicago's south side wondering whether he should make a move on the sexy 25-year-old bartender with the wicked tattoo etched across her lower back.

"Yeah, leave that damn girl alone, old man, he tried to warn himself,'' Omar Tyree writes in a short story "The Bartender'' from his latest release, 'Dirty Old Men: And Other Stories' by Zane Presents. "But it was too late; he began to tell himself that he wasn't that old. Under the bar where he sat, he had living proof that he could still run with the younger dogs in the alley.''

Tyree singes the page with other erotic tales that are sure to delight the voyeur in readers. In "Addicted To It," a retiring hardware store worker develops a taste for Viagra and 20-year-old girls with tight donks, and tosses his middle-aged girlfriend to the curb. But when the character, M.J falls asleep in the midst of one of his Viagra sexcape, he learns that even pharmaceuticals cannot stop the aging process. His partner is miffed.

"He is crazy as hell, she told herself. But I don't know if I can do this s--- with him again. He scared the hell out of me, passing out like that.''


'Dirty Old Men' is full life lessons as Tyree eroticizes the aging process in its rawest form. Readers are sure to gain insight into the psyche of middle-age men through this insightful and titillating work of fiction by one of the best in the business.

Tyree, who established himself as a renowned writer of contemporary fiction with 'Flyy Girl,' is a New York Times bestselling author, a NAACP Image Award recipient for Outstanding Literature in Fiction, and a Phillis Wheatley Literary Award winner for Body of Work in Urban Fiction.
