"Last Days": Former policeman Klein is kidnapped by adherents of a strange sect, which believes that you can become closer to God through amputations. Someone stabbed the founder of their cult, and now Klein must find the killer. But the sect is full of secrets, its hierarchy is impenetrable, and even a simple interrogation turns into a complicated puzzle. And the further Klein goes in his investigation, the faster the world around him turns into a bloody obsession from which there seems to be no way out. “Fallen Horses”: Here the heart of a dead child beats in a teddy bear, in the Wild West a robber escapes from justice, not Knowing that his partner may no longer be entirely human, an inexperienced tourist is faced with an incomprehensible horror in a strange seaside town, on a distant planet a group of prospectors is going crazy from the ubiquitous dust, and reality at any moment can turn into an irrational nightmare that cannot be predicted or pacify. These are all the worlds of Brian Evenson, one of the most unconventional and inventive writers working in the horror genre today.
