Sex and Other Acts of the Imagination by Cliff Burns

the_original_shelf_monkey's review

4.0

Burns is an unflinchingly dark fantasist, driving his imagination into disturbing realms where nothing is certain and answers are few. Stories of bleak dystopian tragedy such as “Apocalypse Beach” mingle with the unsettling intensity of domestic dramas such as “Invisible Boy” and “The Strange Music.” The humour is dark, the horror worse. These are not fantasies of light and hope, but rather despair (although hope does make an appearance now and then).
