✦ Synopsis


This new collection of sixteen tales uncovers the strangeness within everyday America, the fable in the familiar. β€˜The Highwall Horror’ sees an office worker discover the portal to an alien cathedral in a cubicle wall; in β€˜Panorama’ an artist’s agent examines his client’s deserted masterpiece; a young man follows a forgotten song to the haunted town that spawned it in β€˜The Bells, Then the Birds’; a young mother escapes her wastrel husband only to become lost in a perilous swell of freedom in β€˜The Mauve Blot’; and in β€˜Black Horse’ an inherited steed brings uneasiness and worse to its new owner.
