Brian Evenson is a writer on the verge of breaking out of cult fame. A writer whose work is singularly thrilling, he’ll soon be one of those writers who people will claim they knew about before everyone else did. His fans range from the very literary (Jonathan Lethem) to the heroes of horror (Peter Straub).
Evenson’s work has been compared to that of J. G. Ballard, Jorge Luis Borges, Paul Bowles, Franz Kafka, Cormac McCarthy, Robert Coover, Edgar Allan Poe.
A literary writer whose work crosses into science fiction and horror, Evenson has also won the ALA RUSA Award for Best Horror Novel and was a finalist for the Edgar Award. Some of his horror genre books, like a movie tie-in to Aliens, has been published under the pseudonym BK Evenson.
The title story was one of twenty stories that won the 2011 PEN/O. Henry Prize Award. Other winners included Lily Tuck, Chris Adrian, and Jim Shepard.
