The Glassy, Burning Floor of Hell
The Glassy, Burning Floor of Hell | Brian Evenson
2 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
Here is how monstrous humans are. A sentient, murderous prosthetic leg; shadowy creatures lurking behind a shimmering wall; brutal barrow men: of all the terrors that populate The Glassy, Burning Floor of Hell, perhaps the most alarming are the beings who decimated the habitable Earth: humans. In this new short story collection, Brian Evenson envisions a chilling future beyond the Anthropocene that forces excruciating decisions about survival and self-sacrifice in the face of toxic air and a natural world torn between revenge and regeneration. Combining psychological and ecological horror, each tale thrums with Evensons award-winning literary craftsmanship, dark humor, and thrilling suspense.

Such a kind soul with such an eye for darkness. I remember a wooded walk with Brian, wondering whether he was seeing the bright birds & rustling leaves that I did, or all the rotting richness underneath. Another killer collection full of dread. Suspense=his native tongue w/ a dark poetry patois. “Aslosh inside with the dead man‘s blood.” ASLOSH inside?? C‘mon. Too funnydarkperfect. Stories like Serling Twilight Zones+Poe, always w/ a twist. 2021
