Pandemonium Waltz

Bol

In Pandemonium Waltz, award-winning author Jeffrey Ford leads readers through a dizzying sequence of tales that blend fantasy, horror, and dark wonder with his trademark wit and literary grace. From a traveling waltz exhibition whose performers might not be entirely human, to a sun-scorched hunt for a cannibal that unearths something far worse, to a splatter-slick monster hunt that exposes the fault lines of a divided America-Ford's stories cross boundaries of genre and expectation. Each is a mirror turned slightly askew, revealing the marvelous and the monstrous just beyond the frame of the familiar.Ford has long refused to choose between fantasy, science fiction, or horror, insisting instead that "somewhere down there, it all turns to bullshit." The result is fiction that is fearless, unpredictable, and alive with imagination-a testament to storytelling itself and the spell it casts over those who listen. Pandemonium Waltz gathers some of Ford's most haunting and exhilarating recent work: tales of metamorphosis, obsession, and the uneasy price of wonder.
