Highway B: Horrorfest

En savoir plus sur le livre

Highway B: Horrorfest is a collection of (short) short stories, and is the first in a 16-book cycle exploring Highway B dimension. The stories are transportive and sui generis; a blend of Sci-Fi, speculative fiction and futurism, they provide the same jolt one gets upon first reading Borges, Calvino and Kawabata. Highway B: Horrorfest is a collection of 32 (short) short stories and one longer story–the operatic title track, "Horrorfest," that functions as both a coda and a prelude. These stories explore the author's philosophy that we exist within an infinite number of diagonal dimensions that, to varying degrees, are aware of and influenced by one another. The stories take place on a plant–or within the notion of a planet asa communcal hallucinatory canvas–referred to as B. Readers are guided through simulation gulags and simulation resorts, introduced to a bestiary, brought into sex parties and brothels that might be myths and might be extinction events, and given a curated history of the tribes, artificial intelligence, religions, iconoclasts, scientific and spiritual illusions that shape this dimension. All of this is experienced under the influence of various "lunar dusts" that remove filter onto reality–while being overseen by the "satellite villas" that orbit B. Highway B: Horrorfest is the first in a 16-book cycle exploring the Highway B dimension.
