Description
The Hidden Treasure of American Horror ***** North American Lake Monsters is a collection of nine stories in which Nathan Ballingrud explores the dark corners of the human soul, into a strange world that resists understanding and the establishment of order. The main characters here are monsters of all kinds — real and imagined, monsters within us and outside of us. The book is permeated with the despair of contemporary living, pain, but also compassion and love, all wrapped in an occasionally supernatural guise that, however, does not represent the main source of horror. ***** Ballingrud's debut collection received considerable acclaim right after its release in 2013, winning the Shirley Jackson Award and being nominated for several other prestigious genre awards. This is literary horror of the highest quality, a mosaic of small artistic works in dark tones, created for readers who enjoy embarking on adventurous journeys beyond their comfort zone in fantasy.
