Product Description
Product Description
A woman carries a dying baby across a desert waste, moving toward a fortress harboring a mysterious resurrection cult. Menaced by scavengers, she nevertheless begins to suspect that the reality within the fortress may be even more unsettling than the blasted environment outside. As she slips unobtrusively towards the city of the dead, she is pursued by a bounty hunter who cuts a bloody swath after her. On one level, Dark Property is an exploration of religious fanaticism. Although Evenson's characters owe more to the Book of Mormon than the Koran, their frightening intensity will spark recognition in both reviewers and readers. This brooding tale is reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian and J. G. Ballard's more disturbing works of fiction. "I admire Evenson's writing and respect his courage." — Andrew Vachss

Stunning and Essential,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dark Property (Paperback)
Here is further evidence of the brutally exquisite virtuosity of Brian Evenson--a scarifying, thrilling, masterly short novel, unflinching in its apprehension of our human torment. Evenson has a command of language virtually unrivaled among contemporary writers.
