The Dreamreapers

A series of flashers reveals the presence of a cosmic occult organization, and Arthur Munfrey is hired to investigate.

When first published in The Lifted Brow, this short story by Arthur S. Halsey, Jr. introduced his inimitable style to a new generation -- channeling the enormous spirit and conceptuality of William S. Burroughs, with Lynchian dreamworld elements and a bizarre sense that pairs well with Crispin Glover -- The Dreamreapers is ostensibly the story of time-hiding detective Arthur Munfrey, who is called in to investigate the female flashers who are the visible face behind a cosmic occult organization.
