Culture 451
A Mimetic Sequence - Volume II: Burn
by C.P. Koch
These stories? You've read them before. But not like this.
In Culture 451, familiar narratives return-rewired, reframed, and refracted through a mimetic lens. Memory collapses into recursion. Characters glitch. Meaning disintegrates just as it emerges. A story about a lost key becomes a hunt for the author. A fictional bookstore sells books that shouldn't exist. A ghost signs a contract.
What begins as literary fiction fractures into system.
Following The Short Story Grind, this second volume in the Mimetic Sequence pushes deeper into the mechanics of erasure, identity bleed, and narrative contagion. These aren't just stories to be read. They are structures designed to rewrite.
Perfect for readers of Borges, Danielewski, Ligotti, and those who believe fiction should leave you disoriented-and transformed.
