Impressions in Half-light: Fourteen Tales from the Underside of Reason

Impressions...

"There are regions of the mind that come unfettered when we sleep...Despite our efforts, whether to make sense of what we have seen, or to purge it from our memory, a moment of stark lucidity lingers like a bright spot on the retina..."

So begins this stunning collection of short fiction by a writer destined to become an American favorite. Impressions in Half-light: Fourteen Tales from the Underside of Reason is an eclectic blend of stories ranging from the poignant and thought-provoking, to the raucous and titillating.

"For Adele" narrates the psychological disintegration of an unsuspecting man who awakens to find that his life-overnight-has altered irrevocably. In "Thieves in the Temple," the fight between good and evil takes a surprising turn when a fire and brimstone preacher puts an ancient weapon to a shocking new use. "Not Counting Hope" is the disturbing account of a married couple caught in an alternate stream of American history: an America you will recognize instantly, but one you will never believe. "The Thing" is a hilarious satire of male ego and a tribute to the courage of girlfriends everywhere. "When I See Home" asks whether hell itself is only a nightmare from which we cannot escape.

"...Not dreams in the strictest sense, [they] are more akin to ethereal notions caught in a supple medium, as fingerprints in warm wax.... Half-light is the medium. Story is the outcome..."
