Description: Praise for Good Night, Sleep Tight The Millions , "Most Anticipated Books of Summer 2024" Literary Hub , "Most Anticipated Books of 2024" "This collection of unsettling stories blurs the lines between dream and reality, life and death, human and not, Bradbury and Borges." -- Kirkus Reviews The prolific master of the eerie and strange can terrify and delight at any length, but his story collections are always a feast for any reader. If you've never read Evenson but are a fan of George Saunders, Ray Bradbury, Jorge Luis Borges... now's the time to rectify your mistake." -- Literary Hub "It is practically impossible to do, after cracking open any collection of stories by the horror master Evenson, what the title of this latest collection asks of its readers. This book is already haunting you even before you've opened it." -- The Millions "Within these pages: boundless imagery and virtuosic range. Evenson seems to have sequenced the stories like he would the songs of an album: thematic handoffs that become echoes, one tone harmonizing with another. While Good Night, Sleep Tight harbors moments of legitimate terror, it's Evenson's powers of emotional observation that will make you gasp. And the unmatched artistry with which he renders them. This book is more than a gem: it's a collection of precious stones." --Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box "Brian Evenson's new collection, Good Night, Sleep Tight , is nineteen installments of idiosyncratic, weird genius. I can't think of a better practitioner of the short story at work today." --Jeffrey Ford, Edgar Award winning author of The Girl in the Glass "Peeling back the thin veil that separates our humanity from the incomprehensible and the decadently weird, Brian Evenson crafts a masterful and utterly beguiling collection of literary unease with Good Night, Sleep Tight . With a pervasive sense of isolation and existential worry leaking from story to story, this disturbing collection proves why Evenson remains the undisputed master of short literary horror fiction." -- Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke Past Praise: Praise for Brian Evenson Winner of the 2020 World Fantasy Award for best collection Winner of the 2019 Shirley Jackson Award for a single-author collection Winner of the 2005 International Horror Guild Award "His stories are deeply terrifying and so troubling that they linger in your mind long after you've read them." --R.L. Stine "Evenson is one of my favorite living horror writers." --Carmen Maria Machado "There is not a more intense, prolific, or apocalyptic writer of fiction in America than Brian Evenson." --George Saunders "Like with Borges or Kafka, every one of Brian Evenson's stories are a whole world distilled down to a few pages, and rendered in a pointillism that feels not just abstract, but cosmic, yet is gritty all the same, and leaves a distinct, bloody residue in your mind, in your heart." --Stephen Graham Jones "Evenson is one of our best living writers--regardless of genre." --NPR "Evenson's fiction is equal parts obsessive, experimental, and violent. It can be soul-shaking." -- The New Yorker "A master of literary horror." -- GQ
