A Collapse of Horses
A Collapse of Horses | Brian Evenson
5 posts | 5 read | 14 to read
Praise for Brian Evenson: "Brian Evenson is one of the treasures of American story writing, a true successor both to the generation of Coover, Barthelme, Hawkes and Co., but also to Edgar Allan Poe."—Jonathan Lethem "One of the most provocative, inventive, and talented writers we have working today."—The Believer "There is not a more intense, prolific, or apocalyptic writer of fiction in America than Brian Evenson."—George Saunders "Packed with enough atrocities to give Thomas Harris pause. . . . Not many writers have the imagination or the audacity to transform what looks like salvation into an utterly original outpost of hell."—Bookforum A stuffed bear's heart beats with the rhythm of a dead baby; Reno keeps receding to the east no matter how far you drive; and in a mine on another planet, the dust won't stop seeping in. In these stories, Brian Evenson unsettles us with the everyday and the extraordinary—the terror of living with the knowledge of all we cannot know. Praised by Peter Straub for going "furthest out on the sheerest, least sheltered narrative precipice," Brian Evenson has been a finalist for the Edgar Award, the Shirley Jackson Award, and is the World Fantasy Award and the winner of the International Horror Guild Award, the American Library Association's award for Best Horror Novel, and one of Time Out New York's top books.

"Which was why, when the baby was born premature and stillborn at six and a half months, they still had a bear containing a recording of the baby‘s heartbeat."

"During the surgery they peeled the ear off his head, severing the nerves so they could get at the tumor that had spread its fingers across his jaw and up one side of his neck. Then the ear was forced back down, sewn into place."
-"Three Indignities"

The first story in this collection is now my favorite cowboy short story. And, those of you who know the title story? There's a distant remote maybe-maybe possibility it has a part two in this collection ...
