![]() ![]() Brian Evenson has a thing for writing quirky murder mystery-pieces. A stranded mining colony is struggling to keep up oxygen reserves while an unknown dust is infiltrating the compound and seemingly turning miners against one another. ![]() The first one is The Dust, a 50-pages murder mystery featuring space miners. There are two stories from A Collapse of Horses that particularly stuck with me. I would even perhaps call it the gateway drug for those who want to get into his work. A Collapse of Horses is Brian Evenson's latest short story collection and, to my knowledge, his best and most accessible yet. ![]() Each story is so demanding and immersive, it's tough to repeatedly start over with the same focus each time. His short stories have always been a tad more challenging for readers because of their original, but fragmented nature. They know how highly I think of his work, which I can only describe as a minimalist compromise between horror and psychological thrillers. Brian Evenson doesn't need any introduction to readers of this site. ![]()
