Gorgonaeon - Jordan Krall - Bog

GORGONAEON, one in a proposed cycle of several books, is a fragmentary and hallucinogenic reading experience. Frequent shifts in time and perspective imbue this book with an atmosphere of paranoia and dread, but an optimistic and magical aura can be exhumed from Krall's alchemical wordplay as well. The bizarre mages are poetically stitched to an odd narrative about mental and moral disintegration to create a curious doubling effect. Gorgonaeon is a challenging yet rewarding read that will appeal to fans of grotesque surrealism. PRAISE FOR JORDAN KRALL "Jordan Krall is one of the best of the next generation of writers looking askance at modern life and able to chart its absurdities and its dangers. His books conjure up uncomfortable visions with a lucid and alienating gaze." - Jeff Vandermeer, award-winning author of THE SOUTHERN REACH TRILOGY "A dark maze of the soul and mirror eyes that kill: horror at its mythological best." Seb Doubinsky, Author of OMEGA GRAY and GOODBYE BABYLON
