Re: I Am The River: A Novella
Will this be similar to your previous work, or will it be a departure of some kind? I suppose it's probably too early to disclose that. | |||||||||||

His was a religious soul that had failed to find good in the scheme of things; and lacking it, was impelled to make of evil itself an object of secret reverence."

Re: I Am The River: A Novella
No, it is a bit of a departure, I suppose, with element of psychological horror, PTSD, sleep paralysis, displacement, and surrealism, with an ambiguous presence of the supernatural. In terms of set tense and narrative, it's a big departure. Sort of experimental, at least for me, as my stuff is normally pretty structurally square. It's been the most challenging thing I've ever written. | |||||||||||

Re: I Am The River: A Novella
As long as it retains the same razor-like prose, it should be awesome. I look forward to reading it. | |||||||||||

Re: I Am The River: A Novel
Hallucinatory, gripping and haunting, I Am the River should rank as one of the best novels of 2018. The masterful point of view shifts and often stream-of-consciousness pacing makes for a riveting, oneiric read. In the author's hands, this bleak, nightmarish and deeply unsettling tale is not only palatable... but delectable. Of course, I expect such quality from Grau. Everything he has written heretofore is bizarre, literary gold. That stated, this book represents Grau's best work to date, and it is a must read.
