Des news de Gary A. Braunbeck

[jerome]

Gary A. Braunbeck, l'auteur de l'excellent Les allées de Cocagne a publié il y a peu un nouveau roman : Coffin County

On en sait un peu plus sur ce roman ici.

"Coffin County, which is an expansion of Braunbeck's novella "Haceldama," is about the investigation into a mass murder. "[The investigation] has several similarities to another mass murder that took place 200 years ago in the town's past--not the least of which is evidence that strongly suggests both murders were committed by the same person," Braunbeck said.

The setting of the novel--the fictional town of Cedar Hill, Ohio--is where about 90 percent of all Braunbeck's work has been set. "Cedar Hill is a border town, a nexus, a place where supernatural forces intersect and then interact with the everyday lives of the town's citizens," Braunbeck said. "As one character tries to describe it to an outsider: 'There are places in reality where the corners of the finite and the infinite aren't quite squared, and as a result there are cracks and unfinished corners where things can ... slip through, move between the layer-sheets of reality as easily as you or I can walk from one room in our house to the next.'" "

Je ne peux que conseiller la lecture de cette nouvelle "Haceldama" que l'on peut trouver dans la revue "Ténèbres", particulièrement surprenante.
D'autre part, pour ceux qui liraient le VO, un troisième recueil sortira, toujours à Cedars Hill, et viendra cloturer près de vingt années d'écriture...
A suivre donc...
