Prepare to be ferried to an unfamiliar realm on the bony back of despair.
Author Dustin LaValley takes us down face first with rapid-fire flash fiction in the form of ODDS AND ENDS: AN ASSORTMENT OF SORTS. Already associated with the dark and bizarre, LaValley expands his repertoire to experiment with form and literary introspection.
These harrowing meditations on the nature of the world—and the very purpose of humanity—not only provide chills, but strangely the effect of this read is vastly disproportionate to its length, leaving us with scars to contemplate for a long time to come.
Watch the book trailer here:
Guns, Girls, and Tattoos: A Book Trailer for ODDS AND ENDS
Look for ODDS AND ENDS, due out this month, from Raw Dog Screaming Press.
“Extraordinary. Hauntingly poignant.”
