LAST DAYS by Brian Evenson. With an introduction by Peter Straub. Cover artwork by Karim Ghahwagi. Underland Press
**************************************************************
After losing a hand in a sting operation, Kline, a detective, finds himself unwillingly dragged into a secret amputation cult, recruited into a strange world in order to solve a crime whose details the self-mutilated members of the cult are strangely reluctant to discuss. As he struggles to unravel the nightmarish dynamics of the society and figure out the crime, he accidentally violates caste laws and begins to realize that he is profoundly threatened. Intense and profoundly unsettling, Last Days was first published in 2003 as a limited-edition novella titled "The Brotherhood of Mutilation" by Paul Miller's award winning imprint Earthling Publications. Its success led Evenson to expand the story into a full-length novel. In doing so, he has created a work that's disturbing, deeply satisfying, and completely original. Preorder

Fangoria's Book of the Month for April 2009
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"[So intense is Evenson's focus on the admittedly extreme reality he sets out to explore that a kind of numinous evil comes to pervade the setting, the characters and events of the tale.... [O]ne of the most relentlessly disturbing pieces of horror fiction I've read since Joe Hill's remarkable short story 'Best New Horror.'"
—Paul Witcover in Locus
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"[Evenson is an extremely skilled and precise stylist... [a] spare, bleak, and remorseless short novel, which in its own way is as minimal as something like Cormac McCarthy's The Road... what makes it really scary is its portrayal of the dynamics of obsessive group behavior, the cost of maintaining an identity in opposition to such groups, and the price of freedom."
—Gary K. Wolfe in Locus
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"[A] cross between hard-boiled crime noir and surreal horror—think Charlie Huston meets Chuck Palahniuk by way of David Lynch... an incredibly demented and intensely unforgettable ride."
—Robert Thompson at Fantasy Book Critic
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Combining the wry humor of Neil Gaiman, detective prose à la Mickey Spillane and Grand Guignol set pieces reminiscent of Clive Barker, Brian Evenson mixes the varied elements into two interconnected novellas that pack a wallop..." Kline is "the Mike Hammer of amputees."
—Hellnotes
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"[A] sterling example of paranoid fiction... Last Days is gruesome, perplexing, reprehensible, cruel, and freaking marvelous."
—Shelf Monkey
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Last Days definitely ticks all those boxes and is one that I think will be worth keeping an eye out for when it is published in February next year...Eight and Three Quarters out of Ten."
—Graeme's Fantasy Book Review
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Dark, violent, and full of some of the best writing around. I've enjoyed everything of Evenson's I've read so far, and this book might just beat them all."
—Matt Bell
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Last Days is reminiscent of a modern Kafka with its inclusion of the hero's 'other-ness', frustrating scenarios, and ludicrous circumstances."
—Bibliophile Stalker
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"a grim, darkly hilarious riff on blind obedience and pointless self-sacrifice, often reading like the twisted offspring of Raymond Chandler and David Cronenberg."
-The Onion's AV Club
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Even as you are aware of the fact that you are reading, that you are being told, as things progress you can’t quite stop your body from having the same response you would have had if these things were indeed actually occurring on your body.... Brian Evenson is a true revelator, a blacksmith of the nightmare and the tongues, and ‘Last Days’ is his post-noir bloodcurdler...."
-HTMLGIANT
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Often times crime fiction is billed and blurbed as being 'dark' and too often it fails to live up; flinching first and crying uncle when the story gets tough. In this unique detective novel Brian Evenson is willing to hold the gaze of the abyss and the result is a novel that isn’t likely to be forgotten anytime soon."
-Bookspotcentral.com-
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Brian Evenson may not yet be a household name, but if you are a fan of horror or transgressive or even just contemporary fiction, you NEED to get yourself acquainted with him pronto. Remember discovering Thomas Ligotti? Or, closer, that first brush with Dennis Cooper or Chuck
Pahlniuk? You ain't seen nothing yet."

Efterklang "Swarming"
Egal ob die Temperatur draußen hier zu Lande immer weiter steigt oder fällt, bietet die Elektroküche wie immer am Wochenende ein heißes Programm! Es heißt wieder mal “Technotized“ in den heiligen Hallen des elektronischen Underground Club’s in Köln! Am 18.07. sind 2 Jungs aus dem Westwald zu Gast: Mika und Chief! Die beiden Veranstalten schon seit Jahren im Betzdorfer Club Help und anderen Locations der Region ihre Hyaene-Parties und überzeugen immer mit einer sehr angenehmen Mischung von Minimal House bis Techno, perfekt gemixt und vorgetragen! Aus dem Grund können sie eine große Fangemeinde ihr Eigen nennen und wir dürfen gespannt sein was die beiden für uns aus ihren Plattenkisten und Laptop’s zaubern werden. Außerdem werden die beiden E-Küche-Residents Dompe & Jagger ihr neues Projekt, COTEK vorstellen. COTEK ist das neue Produzenten-Projekt der rheinTime Records Crew (Jagger, Chisee & Dompe)! Die beiden werden an diesem Tag mit 2 Mixern und 4 Plattenspielern die Nadel und die Luft brennen lassen. Bequemes Schuhwerk wird empfohlen!!!
Chicks dig scars, everyone knows that, right? Meet Severence DeSnappio, a man who creates ‘fake’ injuries for desperate clients. He’ll get you a stab wound, shot gun blast, snowboarding injury - but a bite from a great white shark?
Set in Miami, Chicks Dig scars is a lyrical, Lynchian mix of dream logic and hard boiled detection.
Joel Mull, einer der schwedischen Urgesteine in Sachen Techno. In den 90..gern arbeitetet er mit Adam Beyer, Cari Lekebusch und Jesper Dahlbäck zusammen im „Planet Rhythm“-Plattenladen. Außerdem produziert er schon seit den ersten Stunden auf Labels wie: Harthouse, Code Red, Inside, Truesoul, Jericho, Automatique, Cocoon, Liebe * Detail, und vielen mehr.
Noch mit bei der 3-Jahres-Geburtstagssause ist „Plank“, der Mann hinter den „Audio Fc“- Partys, den man in Kölle auch kennen dürfte, egal ob von den legendären „Boot-Partys“, oder den „Pollerwiesen“.
Dann noch mit von der Partie, „Deejot Risto“ der seit der ersten Stunde bei „Futuradio“ aus Oberthausen seine Sendung erfolgreich bestreitet und an diesem Abend die Küche zum ersten man beschallen darf.
Fehlen darf der Goldrauscher „himself“ natürlich auch nicht. Gemeint ist natürlich Courtis.
