The Glassy, Burning Floor of Hell | Brian Evenson

2 posts | 3 read | 5 to read

“Here is how monstrous humans are.” A sentient, murderous prosthetic leg; shadowy creatures lurking behind a shimmering wall; brutal barrow men: of all the terrors that populate The Glassy, Burning Floor of Hell, perhaps the most alarming are the beings who decimated the habitable Earth: humans. In this new short story collection, Brian Evenson envisions a chilling future beyond the Anthropocene that forces excruciating decisions about survival and self-sacrifice in the face of toxic air and a natural world torn between revenge and regeneration. Combining psychological and ecological horror, each tale thrums with Evenson’s award-winning literary craftsmanship, dark humor, and thrilling suspense.

The Glassy, Burning Floor of Hell | Brian Evenson

Such a kind soul with such an eye for darkness. I remember a wooded walk with Brian, wondering whether he was seeing the bright birds & rustling leaves that I did, or all the rotting richness underneath. Another killer collection full of dread. Suspense=his native tongue w/ a dark poetry patois. ā€Aslosh inside with the dead man‘s blood.ā€¯ ASLOSH inside?? C‘mon. Too funnydarkperfect. Stories like Serling Twilight Zones+Poe, always w/ a twist. 2021

Note to self: do not read Brian Evenson before going to sleep.

wanderinglynn That sounds like a horrifying thing to read before bed! š³ 2y

vivastory @wanderinglynn The opening story is about the captain of a ship who is able to detach her leg & it changes shapes. It becomes a Philip K. Dick/mini-horror story. Definitely fever dream kind of stories. The above story has an element that reminded me of Ania Ahlborn 2y
