Black Juice

This is a collection of dark, short stories that are no longer than 5,000 words in length. Lanagan's style is compressed as we are plunged into the middle of a situation, of a world, of a viewpoint (not always a human one) and it is up to the reader to piece it all together. These stories will challenge thinking in that the stories and characters are not who they seem to be and the stylistic merit is excellent.
