<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The Warren is a tense, thoughtful exploration of a battle for survival between two beings with competing claims to humanity."--Publisher's website.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A human faces off against a thinks-he's-human in the ultimate fight for survival in <i>The Warren</i>, a novella</b><b> from Brian Evenson.</b> <p/>X doesn't have a name. He thought he had one--or many--but that might be the result of the failing memories of the personalities imprinted within him. Or maybe he really is called X. <p/>He's also not as human as he believes himself to be. <p/>But when he discovers the existence of another--above ground, outside the protection of the Warren--X must learn what it means to be human, or face the destruction of their two species.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>A creepy, mind-bending quest of identity and mystery, told with a master's skill. No one explores inner landscapes quite like Brian Evenson. --Jeff VanderMeer, <i>New York Times</i> Bestselling author of the Southern Reach Trilogy <p/>A suspenseful, darkly comic tale. --<i>The New York Times</i> Book Review <p/>"What is a human? What is a person? <i>The Warren</i> is a truly original exploration of these questions--the kind of work that causes one to re-examine long-held certainties. Profound and deeply unsettling, in the best way possible." --Charles Yu, author of <i>How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe</i> <p/>At the core of the story is the gripping idea of life's slow potential extinction. --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/> "<i>Area X </i>meets Duncan Jones' first and finest movie <i>Moon </i>in a marvellously mystifying novella that wants to know what it means to be human in a world where people can be constructed like sculptures shaped from clay." -- <i>The Speculative Scotsman</i> <p/>"I loved this story. It's frustrating in a weird, delicious way." -- <i>All About Books</i> <p/>"Deliciously frustrating."--<i>LitReactor</i> <p/>"I suggest you pick up The Warren to experience the eeriness for yourself." -- <i>Horrortalk</i> <p/>"<i>The Warren</i> takes us back to the true potential of the genre, simultaneously asking cosmologically existential questions and lacing those questions with fascinating and unnerving intimacy." -- <i>Angel City Review</i> <p/>"It's focussed on the idea of identity and what it means to be real. Interesting and unique... it makes you think. 4 Stars." --<i> Booked Podcast</i> <p/>"I continually had to remind myself that I wasn't reading an already established sci-fi classic. It was that good. a fast read, gripping and engaging from start to finish. A definite must-read." -- <i>SciFi Addicts</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>BRIAN EVENSON is the author of a dozen books of fiction, including the story collections <i>A Collapse of Horses</i> (Coffee House Press, 2016), <i>Windeye</i> (Coffee House Press 2012) and the novel <i>Immobility</i> (Tor 2012), the latter two of which were finalists for a Shirley Jackson Award.
