“There is not a more intense, prolific, or apocalyptic writer of fiction in America than Brian Evenson.”-George Saunders “The bloodfests that sometimes ensue are metaphoric as miniature Francis Bacons. fiction is repulsive but more ‘moral’ that anything than comes from Bret Ellis or A. “One of the most provocative, inventive, and talented writers we have working today.”- The Believer “Brian Evenson is one of the treaures of American story writing, a true successor both to the generation of Coover, Barthelme, Hawkes and Co., but also to Edgar Allan Poe.”-Jonathan Lethem
In these stories, Evenson unsettles us with the everyday and the extraordinary–the terror of living with the knowledge of all we cannot know. Minimalist literary horror, Evenson’s stories work a nightmare axis of doubt, paranoia, and everyday life.
