Description: "No one writes like Brent Hayward. No one ever has. His voice is a product of... Well, who the hell knows? These stories are nothing like what you're expecting--and that's a very good thing." --Zachary Jernigan, author of No Return "Hayward's debut ( Filaria ) is a powerful, beautifully-written dystopian tale..." -- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "( The Fecund's Melancholy Daughter is) ...beautifully written and morally ambivalent; this complex tale will appeal to readers of Gene Wolfe and China Miville." -- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "( The Fecund's Melancholy Daughter 's) ...uncompromising originality leaves the reader with few familiar signposts. Reading it is like waking up in the wrong bed, in the wrong apartment, under the wrong sun... By turns surreal, macabre and stunningly violent, The Fecund's Melancholy Daughter is dreamlike in its strangeness and complexity. Like a dream, it is difficult to define and difficult to shake. The imagery lingers like archetypes dredged up from the sleeping mind." --Mark Dunn, The Globe and Mail "Toronto's Brent Hayward has a knack for creating incredibly lush alternative worlds and mythologies, and Head Full of Mountains may be his most complex and demanding work yet." --Alex Good, The Toronto Star
