Are You Loathsome Tonight?

Are You Loathsome Tonight? (also titled Self-Made Man) is a collection of short stories by American author Poppy Z. Brite, published in 1998 by Gauntlet Press. The title is a play on the song Are You Lonesome Tonight?, made famous by Elvis Presley, and a reference to the inner groove etching of the 1986 single Ask by The Smiths.
