Haunting, gripping, and psychologically fierce tales that illuminate an unsettling side of humanity from “one of the treasures of American story writing” (Jonathan Lethem). Featuring the O. Henry Prize–winning short story “Windeye, ” this collection of Brian Evenson’s masterful stories “involve impossible scenarios and alternative realities” that are “always surprising” (Bookforum). 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 twenty-five stories live as interlopers in a world shaped by mysterious disappearances and unfathomable discrepancies between the real and imagined, revealing the breadth and depth of Evenson’s uncanny vision.
