Windeye - Paperback

by Brian Evenson (Author)

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.
