Description
In a near-future mining compound, a group of workers confront a Sisyphean problem: keeping dust out of the breathing machines that make survival possible. Across shifting, unsettling scenarios, a man reawakens after a catastrophic head injury to find his home—and even the basic facts of his life—slipping out of reach, as memory and reality refuse to hold still. With Brian Evenson’s signature precision and stripped-down intensity, these stories turn on doubt, bodily vulnerability, and the fragile systems—technological, psychological, and emotional—that keep people moving. Equal parts cold and immaculate panic, the collection explores what happens when the world’s rules break, and when the mind can no longer guarantee the truth of what it’s experiencing.
