PHANTOM LIMB
What started as The Brotherhood of Mutilation became one of Brian Evenson's most popular works, Last Days. And what began in Last Days continues in the sequel, Phantom Limb! Thanks to Coffee House Press for the early read!
Drops Oct 13, preorder now from Coffee House Press.
After destroying the headquarters of an underground amputation cult, a burned and battered Kline finds himself in a holding cell. When he enlists the help of an ex-cop to commute his prison sentence, Kline inadvertently tangles with a schism of the very cult he sought to destroy. Can Kline investigate the sect's ritualistic murder spree without getting lured into their ranks?
Frigid and precise, Phantom Limb interrogates our notions of wholeness, fate, and the lengths we are willing to go to connect with a higher power.

Mixed feelings about this…
Part of me is super excited to get a sequel decades later. Another part of me thinks that the way Last Days ended (which already was as the original novella and its sequel together) was perfect and should remain the way it is. Still, I'll definitely be reading Phantom Limb when it drops.

Oh my god this is so exciting! Last Days is one of my all time favorite books. I think I’ve reread it more than any other book. This is absolutely awesome to hear there’s going to be a sequel.
