How to Read

"It's ingenious, impossible revolution all the way down.” —LANCE OLSEN

The Irreal Reader

"A Kafkan mindtrip more disorienting than Borges’ Library of Babel." —PORTAL DEL SOL

White Indians

"Gills’ beautifully written prose ... combines his warring natures—the daring macho infused crazy man with the earth-reverent husband and father." —DIANE WOKOSKI

Revolutionary Brain

"This witty and explosive book is an indictment of injustice and spurious morality and a call to art and enlightened activism as healing alternatives.” —JONATHAN BAUMBACH

Technologized Desire

"An ambitious undertaking, analyzing the currents of all these information flows and examining them for patterns and meaning with a keen, postmodern eye." —THE NEW YORK REVIEW OF SCIENCE FICTION

Horror Isn't a 4-Letter Word

"Most of the essays in this book were written just as Warner was making a name for himself in the horror lit community, which grant them an added authenticity and accessibility … These pieces subtly challenge the mainstream misconception that horror is dangerous, meritless junk food." —RUE MORGUE

Monstrous Creatures

“In the hands of a brilliant writer like Jeff VanderMeer, writing fantasy can be a means of serious artistic expression. In VanderMeer's hands, it is also playful, poignant, and utterly, wildly, imaginative.” —PETER STRAUB
