Good Night, Sleep Tight
Good Night, Sleep Tight | Brian Evenson
2 posts | 1 read
"Perhaps tomorrow I will wake up another person. Perhaps tomorrow I will wake up not a person at all." From the "master of literary horror" (GQ) comes a collection of new stories tracing the limits and consequences of artificial intelligence and "post-human" relationships. Populated by twins stepping into worlds of absence, bears who lick their cubs into creation, and artificial beings haunted by their less-than-human nature, each page sketches a world where our all-too-real feelings of isolation and ecological dread take on an otherworldly tinge. In Good Night, Sleep Tight, Brian Evenson deftly weaves ethical dilemmas, maternal warmth, and echoes of apocalypse into his most tender, disquieting book yet.

Evenson covers much of the same ground as in prior story collections: liminal spaces, ambiguous identities, sci-fi & dystopian horror. Although not as consistently strong as say “Song For the Unraveling of the World“ there are some real gems in here: “Solution,“ “Annex,“ “Vigil In the Inner Room“ & “Servitude“.

Mehso-so

The book was reviewed as a batch of horror stories but did not find that. It was a batch of short stories with some being sci fi and some being very slight horror. Being a fan of other horror authors I found this collection to be ok. There were a few with a sci fi theme which I enjoyed more than others.
