Heresy Presss new anthology, Axe: Stories That Cut Deep, gathers dazzling short fiction from some of todays most acclaimed voices, including National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize winners. Inspired by Kafkas injunction that a book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us, these twelve stories strike at complacency with audacity and style. Joyce Carol Oates, Sherman Alexie, Chuck Palahniuk, Lionel Shriver, Andrew Doyle, Richard North Patterson, Jeffrey Ford, David Sedaris, and Alice Walker deliver tales of cruelty, compassion, delusion, and revelationfrom gothic horror and biting satire to surreal fables and lyrical meditations. Bradford Morrows chilling inheritance scenario, Jonathan Santlofers seductive con game, James Morrows heretical tour-de-force, and Elizabeth Hand's wrenching portrait of a dying hedonist exemplify fiction that cuts deep and lingers. Across these pages, the familiar world cracks open to reveal what lies beneath: violence, longing, and the possibility of grace. In a spirited afterword, Junot Daz urges us to read hungrily, adventurously, and blasphemouslythe perfect benediction for a compilation that defies conventional artistic boundaries.
