This Side of the Divide: New Lore of the American West is the
second entry in the Divide anthology series attempting to capture
the newness, vastness, territoriality, and sense of transience
alive in the American West. In this collection legends, myths,
tales, omens, folk horror, and science fiction explore the
fantastical, the apocalyptic, the bizarre, the unknown, and the
apocryphal origins and conclusions of life on the occidental side
of the Continental Divide. In this collection, after the ‘what
is’ comes the ‘what will be’, as acclaimed authors and
emerging voices weave tales that push the boundaries of
imagination: Ken Liu takes us to the frontiers of America and China
in a stark tale of perseverance; Kate Bernheimer immerses us in the
fairytale lands of modern celebrity; Benjamin Percy takes us
hunting for deer and connection in eastern Oregon; Yuri Herrera
grants us insight on our future overlords; Tessa Fontaine places us
in-between with a monster and a question; Dominique Dickey chases
familiar ghosts; and Willy Vlautin takes us on the wild ride that
is a winning streak. Accompanied by a foreword from This Side of
the Divide alum, and author of The Forbidden City, Vanessa Hua,
these twenty-five pieces of new lore excavate the beauty, the
uncertainty, the longing, the bitter interactions and stark truths;
the strong people and vivid places that have shaped, and will
continue to shape the West until the end of days.
