Brian Evenson is the author of eight books, most recently The Open Curtain, which was a finalist for the Edgar Award and the International Horror Guild Award, and was named by Time Out New York as one of the best books of 2006. He is the recipient of both an O. Henry Award and an NEA award. Evenson's writing has been described as dark, violent, philosophical, critical, and lyrical. "Like Poe's, Evenson's stories range from horror to humor; a similarly high critical intelligence is always in control," writes Samuel R. Delany. "We read them with care, with our guard up, only to find they have already slipped inside and gotten to work, refining the feelings, the vision, the life."

Last DaysThe American Library Association's pick for Best Horror Novel of the Year in 2009, and a Shirley Jackson Award nominee, Last Days was frst published in 2003 as a limited-edition novella titled The Brotherhood of Mutilation. Its success led Evenson to expand the story into a full-length novel. In doing so, he has created a work that's disturbing, deeply satisfying, and completely original.
This book is available as trade paperback and as limited edition.
