Author Description

Adam Golaski's newest collection STONE GODS marks his long-awaited return to horror, following the now cult-classic Worse Than Myself (Raw Dog Screaming, 2008). STONE GODS features 15 stories of lives and places set askew.Stone Gods is A Publishers Weekly BookLife Editor's Pick: "Golaski's exploration of the human experience through the supernatural is immersive and self-exploratory. The final story, 'A Rainbow Summer,' employs storytelling itself as a potent instrument. A father breathes life into the animals in Noah's Ark, masterfully capturing the very essence of Stone Gods and what Golaski achieves within these memorable, sharply crafted stories."And praised by Kirkus Reviews: "In measured prose, Golaski's work recalls that of H.P. Lovecraft with surreal shades of Leonora Carrington's or Silvina Ocampo's work. Logic goes out the window in these atmospheric, symbolic tales. A celebration of the strange, cleverly told across stylistic forms."
