Description



About the Book



Last Days follows Kline, a man forcibly recruited to solve the murder of the leader of an underground amputation cult.



Book Synopsis



"The deceptively simple prose keeps the book brisk and even gripping as its puzzles grow more craggy and complex. This is Evenson's singular, Poe-like gift: He writes with intelligence and a steady hand, even when his characters decide to lop their own limbs off."-Time Out New York

When Kline is kidnapped by a dark sect that believes amputation brings you closer to God, he's tasked with uncovering who murdered their leader. Will he uncover the truth in time to save himself, take on the mantle of prophet, or destroy all he sees with a rain of biblical violence?



Review Quotes




"The clinical tone with which Evenson is able to traverse such situations, and the strange stark architecture of their world, makes even the most insidious or repulsive situations seem plausible, mathematical, nearby. Nothing is real, so everything is real." --VICE

"Evenson offers a distinctive spin on the private investigator genre, finding moments of horror and humor along the way." --Signature

"The deceptively simple prose keeps the book brisk and even gripping as its puzzles grow more craggy and complex. This is Evenson's singular, Poe-like gift: He writes with intelligence and a steady hand, even when his characters decide to lop their own limbs off." --Time Out New York

"[Last Days] is a novel that must be read by fans of mysteries, noir, and horror if they want to have an idea of what those genres can be. . . . Brian Evenson is the kind of writer who should be rediscovered by every generation." --Vol. 1 Brooklyn

"Last Days . . . is a detective novel and a cult novel (in that it is about cults--though perhaps the other designation would work too) and a brutal horror novel and a fine work of minimalist literary fiction." --LitHub
