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."

It's an Evangelical screed against humanism and progressive politics.

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.

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.
"Thomas Ligotti is a master of a different order, practically a different species. He probably couldn’t fake it if he tried, and he never tries. He writes like horror incarnate.”
—Terrence Rafferty, New York Times Book Review
