Дополнительные характеристики
Last Year, When We Were Young brings together 16 tales that defy conventions of genre and style, every one with an edge sharper than a razor and darker than a night on Neptune. From the darkly hilarious All the Clowns in Clowntown to the heart-breaking and disturbing title story, this debut collection from multi-award nominated author and illustrator Andrew J McKiernan pulls no punches. McKiernan's stories are hauntingly dark, evocatively written and viscerally compelling. With little regard for genre boundaries, McKiernan creates utterly convincing characters who will take you on a journey through fully realised worlds, and every journey is more than worth it. - Alan Baxter, author of Bound and Realmshift These clever, compelling stories explore the dark edges of human existence. Utilising deceptive, often colloquial prose and an array of startling imagery, McKiernan has staked his own claim in a dark corner of imaginative fiction. Start reading him now; this guy will go far. - Gary McMahon, author of The Concrete Grove McKiernan is a magician. He performs magic tricks in every story, spinning us around, making us believe one thing before showing us we were wrong all along. His stories are pure magic, staying with you like an echo long after reading. - Kaaron Warren, author of Slights & Walking the Tree A troubling collection of weird and twisted tales. Sometimes funny, sometimes horrifying; always clever, always disturbing. Highly entertaining! - Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of CODE ZERO
