In this striking novelinstories, a series of strange apocalypses have hit America. Entire neighborhoods drown in mud, glass rains from the sky, birds speak gibberish, and parents of young children disappear. Millions starve while others grow coats of mold. But a few are able to survive and find a light in the aftermath, illuminating what weve become. In ?The Disappeared, a father is arrested for missing free throws, leaving his son to search alone for his lost mother. A boy swells to fill his parents ransacked attic in ?The Ruined Child. Rendered in a variety of narrative forms, from a psychedelic fable to a skewed insurance claim questionnaire, Blake Butlers fulllength fiction debut paints a gorgeously grotesque version of America, bringing to mind both Kelly Link and William H. Gass, yet imbued with Butlers own vision of the apocalyptic and bizarre.
