First Line: "So it was there, eight months later, that Rudy found her; in that huge and ugly house off Western Avenue n Los Angeles; living with them, all of them; not just Jonah, but all of them."
"Shattered Like a Glass Goblin", on the surface, is about a man named Rudy who gets out of the army on a medical discharge. He goes in search of the woman he is to marry. Meanwhile, Kris has moved to a house filled with drugged out people. Kris will not leave so Rudy joins the group. The rest of the story graphically describes Rudy's descent. Are the people strung out on drugs...or are they something else?
