Bøger af Ck Gauntt

It is rare when every piece in a collection of short stories takes hold of us-our interest, our fascination, our emotions-and refuses to let go. Such is the case in CK Gauntt's alarmingly forceful compendium, The Usual Grievances. Beginning with the tragic and haunting From a Child, the Writer's Hands to the final lines of the closing story (Thou shalt not follow false gods. We are all guilty), we are pulled through every permutation of the human condition at its best, and its worst. Gauntt has created characters who suffer the jagged edge of isolation, loneliness, depression, alcoholism, and abandonment, everything that upends life and makes us question our very existence. And yet buried deep in this pessimism is hope, redemption, and a hint of the wondrous possibilities to be recognized and embraced. This is a collection that must be read.

Dead Ends is the second reality-shifting installment in CK Gauntt's series of stories direct From the Midnight Vault. From a nightmarish encounter with a Christmas legend to a walk in the shoes of a young boy during the Great Flood of Noah, these 16 tales will both horrify and enlighten. Move at the speed of lightning with a fierce emissary of Mother Nature and then float with an unsuspecting group of friends through a dark, Louisiana swamp. CK Gauntt's fourth book takes the boundaries of what we perceive as the true reality and then pushes the reader through a fantastic and often eye-opening experience through what lies on the other side. And it rarely ends well.

From the mind of CK Gauntt and his midnight vault comes this eclectic, and oftentimes deeply personal, collection of work. Short stories, poems, fragments, and the occasional curiosity will take the reader on a journey into the psyche of CK Gauntt.
