Description



Book Synopsis



Master of literary horror Brian Evenson returns with a long-awaited follow-up to his 2016 novel, Last Days.

After destroying the headquarters of an underground amputation cult, a burned and battered Kline finds himself in a holding cell. When he enlists the help of an ex-cop to commute his prison sentence, Kline inadvertently tangles with a schism of the very cult he sought to destroy. Can Kline investigate the sect's ritualistic murder spree without getting lured into their ranks?

Frigid and precise, Phantom Limb interrogates our notions of wholeness, fate, and the lengths we are willing to go to connect with a higher power.



Review Quotes




Praise for Phantom Limb

"Evenson has created a haunted world of violence and damage, where the more a person loses the closer they get to God... [He] proves yet again to be a master alchemist, stirring up a noir-infused detective story, a cultic conspiracy, and some wonderfully grisly body horror into a concoction that is distinctly Evenson" --Brandon Grafius, author of Scared by the Bible

Praise for Brian Evenson

Winner of the 2020 World Fantasy Award for best collection
Winner of the 2019 Shirley Jackson Award for a single-author collection
Winner of the 2005 International Horror Guild Award

"His stories are deeply terrifying and so troubling that they linger in your mind long after you've read them." --R.L. Stine

"Brian Evenson is one of my favorite living horror writers." --Carmen Maria Machado

"There is not a more intense, prolific, or apocalyptic writer of fiction in America than Brian Evenson." --George Saunders

"Like with Borges or Kafka, every one of Brian Evenson's stories are a whole world distilled down to a few pages, and rendered in a pointillism that feels not just abstract, but cosmic, yet is gritty all the same, and leaves a distinct, bloody residue in your mind, in your heart. And then you can no longer look at the world the way you used to." --Stephen Graham Jones

"Evenson is one of our best living writers--regardless of genre." --NPR

"Evenson's fiction is equal parts obsessive, experimental, and violent. It can be soul-shaking." --The New Yorker

"A master of literary horror." --GQ
