Description: " Combines the otherworldliness of Jeff Vander Meer's " Annihilation " the menacing irony of Shirley Jackson and the cold feminist fury of Margaret Atwood" - - The New York Times Book Review Named a Fall Read by The Boston Globe and the Chicago Tribune The mundane becomes sinister in a disquieting story collection from the author of The Grip of It In Jac Jemc's dislocating second story collection False Bingo we watch as sinister forces - some supernatural some of this earth some real and some not - work their ways into the mundanity of everyday life. In " Strange Loop " an outcast attempting to escape an unnamed mistake spends his days taxiderming animals while in " Delivery " a family watches as their dementia - addled basement - dwelling father succumbs to an online shopping addiction. " Don't Let's" finds a woman recently freed from an abusive relationship living in an isolated vacation home in the South that might be haunted by breath - stealing ghosts. Fueled by paranoia and visceral suspense and crafted with masterful restraint these seventeen stories explore what happens when our fears cross over into the real if only for a fleeting moment. Identities are stolen alternate universes are revealed and innocence is lost as the consequences of minor seemingly harmless decisions erupt to sabotage a false sense of stability. " This is not a morality tale about the goodness of one character triumphing over the bad of another " the sadistic narrator of " Pastoral" announces. Rather False Bingo is a collection of realist fables exploring how conflicting moralities can coexist: the good the bad the indecipherable.
