The Massage of Erasure

Six Stories

Published Copy

Blurb

Bodies, language, and memory unravel under the pressure of being alive.

A fishmonger guts the past and finds his mother inside it. A couple argue about excretion, love, and creation until their words start to rot. A man attempts to remove himself from his own dream. By a frozen lake, something ancient watches as language and flesh collapse together. Elsewhere, sweetness ferments into hunger, and a man is coerced to vanish.

Shmuel Barber convenes six philosophy seminars from Hell and drops hallucinogenic bombs on them all, gleefully taking notes as they explode. Fans of Bulgakov and Ballard will pick themselves out of the wreckage and applaud.
