About

To find a cult leader's killer, a former detective must literally give up his body in this award-winning work of literary horror. Nominated for the Shirley Jackson award and winner of the ALA/RUSA Best Horror novel, Brian Evenson's Last Days is an intense, profoundly unsettling down-the-rabbit-hole detective noir. Kline is a former detective who's cool head in the face of a brutal amputation makes him the perfect candidate to infiltrate a dark cult that believes amputation brings one closer to God. Kline is tasked with finding the cult leader's killer. But to get to the truth, Kline must lose himself-literally-one body part at a time. Last Days was first published in 2003 as a limited edition novella titled The Brotherhood of Mutilation. 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.

Reviews

"The deceptively simple prose keeps the book brisk and even gripping as its puzzles grow more craggy and complex. This is Evenson's singular, Poe-like gift: He writes with intelligence and a steady hand, even when his characters decide to lop their own limbs off." -Time Out New York   "Evenson's fiction is equal parts obsessive, experimental, and violent. It can be soul-shaking."
New Yorker
"There is not a more intense, prolific, or apocalyptic writer of fiction in America than Brian Evenson."
George Saunders
"Brian Evenson is one of the treasures of American story writing, a true successor both to the generation of Coover, Barthelme, Hawkes and Co., but also to Edgar Allan Poe."
Jonathan Lethem
