Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Brian Evenson has added an O. Henry Award-winning short story, "Two Brothers," to this controversial book and a new afterword, in which he describes the troubling aftermath of the book's publication in 1994.
Review:
"The spirit of Edgar Allan Poe inhabits this collection of violent and mysterious stories that recall not only that master of the perverse but also the seamier side of the nightly news. . . . Many of these tales, particularly the short-shorts, remain enigmatic, resistant to any explication; yet even they are told in such a compelling fashion that one reads not to understand but merely to witness."-Publishers Weekly
(Publishers Weekly)Review:
"Evenson has created a fascinating, mysterious, and austere prose set in scenes that attain the precision of staged burlesque. Through the sparse economy of the plot and settings, Evensons great moral sensibility is glimpsed behind the carnival mask of apparently frivolous murder."-Seattle Weekly
