From Jordan Krall, author of HUMANITY IS THE DEVIL, comes a series
of novellas in the tradition of early J. G. Ballard, William
Burroughs, and Barry Malzberg. Exploring the concepts of personal
and public tragedy, this is a book unlike anything Krall has
written before: a collection of brief chapters in an infinite
universe of physical and mental illness, urban destruction, and the
cracks in society we fight to ignore. This collection includes
FALSE MAGIC KINGDOM, BAD ALCHEMY, THE GOG AND MAGOG BUSINESS,
SODOMY IN NINE-ELEVEN LAND, and INVOCATION OF A BLAST EVENT (a new
story exclusive to this collection). Introduction by Seb Doubinsky.
"Jordan Krall is one of the best of the next generation of writers
looking askance at modern life and able to chart its absurdities
and its dangers. These books conjure up uncomfortable visions with
a lucid and alienating gaze." - Jeff Vandermeer, author of FINCH
and CITY OF SAINTS AND MADMEN
