He blends meticulously crafted traditional narratives with joyous genre-bending and narrative rule-breaking. His stories are fiercely smart, timely, timeless, heartbreaking, and of course, flat-out scary. Langan fearlessly commits to his monsters, his characters, his readers, to his vision of the horror story and the messed-up, broken, frightening world we inhabit. Wide, Carnivorous Sky, indeed.\"-Paul Tremblay, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Little Sleep\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSwallowing a Donkey's Eye\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e John Langan has, in the last few years, established himself as one of the leading voices in contemporary horror literature. Gifted with a supple and mellifluous prose style, an imagination that can conjure up clutching terrors with seeming effortlessness, and a thorough knowledge of the rich heritage of weird fiction, Langan has already garnered his share of accolades. This new collection of nine substantial stories includes such masterworks as \"Technicolor,\" an ingenious riff on Poe's \"Masque of the Red Death\"; \"How the Day Runs Down,\" a gripping tale of the undead; and \"The Shallows,\" a powerful tale of the Cthulhu Mythos. The capstone to the collection is a previously unpublished novella of supernatural terror, \"Mother of Stone.\" With an introduction by Jeffrey Ford and an afterword by Laird Barron.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-709923\"\u003eJohn Langan\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hippocampus Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.68d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781614980544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1614980543\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC009040\"\u003eFantasy | Collections \u0026amp; Anthologies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hippocampus Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42702107803885,"sku":"9781614980544","price":26.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_4d9e8033-e8bc-448d-bb75-8d6fdd27506b.jpg?v=1649956734","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-wide-carnivorous-sky-and-other-monstrous-geographies-9781614980544","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
