Description
Mike McCormack's "Getting It in the Head" plunges readers into a darkly imaginative world where the ordinary collides with the grotesque. This collection of sixteen stories explores the harsh realities and unsettling undercurrents of modern life, featuring characters who engage in extreme acts of creation and destruction. From children building bombs to sculptors dismembering themselves, McCormack crafts narratives that blend visceral horror with a profound sense of unease. His distinctive style, often depicting worlds teetering on the brink of collapse, makes this a compelling and unforgettable read.
