Description
In The Persistence, the force beneath creation surfaces in ten linked stories that twist through numerous realities. Characters return or depart across a boundary that barely holds back possibilities for the monstrous. In the patch of feral woods in which these stories are set, the covering over the generative void is exceptionally thin, allowing the poetry of being to appear in bizarre ways. Each story in The Persistence invents its own logic, adapting the old need for enchantment to a modern world of fragmentation and grotesque flowering.
