Omschrijving
Macabre desire.
The grotesque unease of longing.
Violence anticipated, violence realized. Featuring sixteen pieces of short fiction--including three previously unpublished stories--Let Not Your Sorrow Die shows us what the darkest places reveal about what it means to be truly human. In the Shirley Jackson Award finalist for best short fiction, a desperate girl and her father search for change in the cold night and instead discover even darker tragedy in the "Back Seat." A priest struggles to keep faith in his parishioners' goodness, but when a child confesses a terrible secret to him, he is overwhelmed by "A Short Madness." One antique collector's grim acquisition is an elderly woman's gateway to a last encounter with lost love at the end of a lonely life burdened by "The Loneliness of Not Being Haunted." In "Memories of Me You," an amnesiac sifts through recollections pieced together by a man's desire to craft the perfect woman, finding instead her true identity in deconstruction. An enforcer for an outlaw biker gang must fight to survive the wild force unleashed by a desperate man's final act in "Pigs Don't Squeal in Tigertown." From grisly atrocity tourism and the looming threat of the surveillance state to the inevitability of a hiker's idyllic ending and the uncertainty of a final girl's future, acclaimed author Bracken MacLeod brings to haunting life the fears of "random" violence, isolation, unwelcome connection, beginnings, endings, and all the terrors in between.
