In Among These Savage Thoughts, Astro Teller brings the reader a
fable of internal struggle and personal rediscovery, incandescently
imagined and visualized. The story weaves Lane, a young man in his
last year as an apprentice assassin, into the fabulously foreign
ancient town of Karabas. This young antihero comes to grips with
his unpardonable sins of leniency and watches internally as his
personality and confidence come crashing down around him. Through
the shifting textures of the language itself the reader experiences
Lane's loss of self and his struggle to reinvent himself behind a
mask of normalcy. It is the story of a metamorphosis told through
the shifting chiaroscuro playing across the undulating surface of a
chrysalis.
