Staff Reviews
Evenson blurs the lines between “genre” and “literary” fiction. His stories are, at once, insightful and sensational. He's witty, dark and observant—one of my favorite authors, full-stop.
This may be his most refined and accessible work to date. Highly, highly, highly recommended.
— JonDescription
A newborn's absent face appears on the back of someone else's head, a filmmaker goes to gruesome lengths to achieve the silence he's after for his final scene, and a therapist begins, impossibly, to appear in a troubled patient's room late at night. In these stories of doubt, delusion, and paranoia, no belief, no claim to objectivity, is immune to the distortions of human perception. Here, self-deception is a means of justifying our most inhuman impulses--whether we know it or not.
