Description
About the Book
Cormac McCarthy meets The Twilight Zone. A modern-day Hawthorne, Evenson is a writer people will claim they discovered early.
Book Synopsis
Cormac McCarthy meets The Twilight Zone. A modern-day Hawthorne, Evenson is a writer people will claim they discovered early. A woman falling out of sync with the world, a king's servant hypnotized by his murderous horse, a transplanted ear with a mind of its own-the characters in these stories live as interlopers in a world shaped by mysterious disappearances and unfathomable discrepancies between the real and imagined. Evenson, master of literary horror, presents his most far-ranging collection to date, exploring how humans struggle to persist in an increasingly unreal world. Haunting, gripping, and psychologically fierce, these tales illuminate a dark and unsettling side of humanity.Review Quotes
Praise for Windeye A Time Out New York Best Book of 2012 "Evenson's thrillingly unnerving books have won awards for mystery, horror, and literary fiction; this is work that's scary on a deep level." -Reader's Digest "The fact that Evenson can move from parody to paranoia and humor to horror in the span of three paragraphs is a testament to his ability as a storyteller." --The Brooklyn Rail "Ranging from feudal to post-apocalyptic, [Windeye] contains some of the best uncanny and horror writing to come out of New England since Stephen King published The Stand in 1978." --ForeWord "Imagine Beckett's Murphy or Molloy lost, walking around in a Poe tale, then read these stories to find out why Jonathan Lethem calls Evenson 'one of the treasures of American story writing.'" --Shelf Awareness "Characterized by building suspense and dread, these tales often have a folkloric feel far removed from the commonplace." --Booklist "[Windeye is] fiction that, for all its seeming insubstantiality, is weighty, solid, and provocative." --Locus Magazine "Laughter can be an effective tool of the horror writer, and Evenson is its finest practitioner." --Time Out Chicago "Brian Evenson is one of the treasures 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 "No one--and I mean no one--is better at excavating the strangeness of our everyday lives." --Andrew Ervin
