Song for the Unraveling of the World

By Brian Evenson

Book Overview

From a modern master of the form, a new short story collection that dexterously walks the tightrope between literary fiction, sci-fi, and horror.

A newborn's absent face appears on the back of someone else's head, a filmmaker goes to gruesome lengths to achieve the silence he's after for his final scene, and a therapist begins, impossibly, to appear in a troubled patient's room late at night. In these stories of doubt, delusion, and paranoia, no belief, no claim to objectivity, is immune to the distortions of human perception. Here, self-deception is a means of justifying our most inhuman impulses-whether we know it or not.

Customer Reviews

A must read for fans of the weird!

I really love his writing style, each sentence a revelation, economy of language coaxing the reader deeper into the strange horror mysteries that lie within. This is excellent weird fiction.
