Beyond Short Street, by Owen Rye

Beyond Short Street, by Owen Rye




The most startling aspect of this book is how it feels – like a beached catfish, a gummy bear or bathtub caulking. That, and the beautiful stop-action photograph of a kiln’s firebox a few moments after a stoke when flame – gossamer and inchoate - inveigles wood into a gaseous specter. The author appears on the back cover in the guise of a necromancer caught mid-gesture in an incantation. Who could resist delving into this eerily enticing read?
