Publisher's Synopsis
Bram Stoker Award winner and World Horror Grandmaster Brian Keene has long been celebrated for his novels, stories, and comic books, but readers know that some of his best works are his nonfiction. Now he's back with an all-new collection of essays, articles, and observations spanning a dark time in world history - 2015 to 2022. Keene turns his focus, wit, earnestness, and insight to global events such as the Covid-19 pandemic and the U.S. presidential elections, changes in publishing and horror fiction, societal movements and pop culture moments, the loss of friends, and, as always, himself. And as civilization seems to obliviously hurtle toward certain doom all around him, Keene struggles to make sense of it for both himself - and his readers. Does anyone get a happy ending, or are we all truly doomed? How do we process and express... LOVE AND HATE IN THE TIME OF COVID?
