Connor de Bruler

    Connor de Bruler crea racconti brevi agghiaccianti che si addentrano negli angoli più oscuri della psiche umana, concentrandosi spesso su immagini profondamente inquietanti e un pervasivo senso di terrore. Il suo stile letterario è contrassegnato da una cruda onestà e da uno sguardo penetrante sui drammi psicologici che guidano gli esseri umani. Il lavoro di De Bruler naviga frequentemente nello spazio liminale tra l'horror e il thriller psicologico, esplorando come gli individui comuni affrontano circostanze straordinarie. La sua capacità di evocare un profondo senso di disagio e suspense lo distingue come una voce caratteristica nella narrativa di genere.

      SHORT STORIES BY CONNOR DE BRULER "Hard-boiled is what you're going to get with Connor de Bruler's superb collection of short stories. For those who like their movies R-rated, with no filler, no moral restrictions, no magical resolutions, just gritty and raw storytelling. An absolute page-turner, with equal parts intensity and brevity." - Jonathan R. Rose, Carrion, The Spirit of Laughter and Gato Y Lobo. "de Bruler's collection rocks between Pizzolatto and Pynchon and defines the American geography of character with precision, and the occasional laugh-out-loud line: a catalogue of the underprivileged whose decadence and charm is unsettling and startling." - Walker Zupp, British Wittgenstein Society "Connor de Bruler's writing is magnetic." - Sam Lichtman, writer/director of Astray

      Vagabone An enthralling novel... would fit nicely on the shelf next to Cormac McCarthy and the darker tales of Joe R. Lansdale. A damn fine book. - Brandon Notla, Iron and Smoke Brutal and unrelenting. - Jessie McKinnell, Anarchy and Other Lies Vagabone follows protagonists Amalin and Pancho as they fight to survive in a post-apocalyptic United States and Mexico. Before the collapse, Amalin worked as a bartender and bookstore clerk. Fueled by desperation, she accepts a contract to venture beyond the military cordon to kill a dangerous cult leader known as The Teacher. Along the way, she meets Pancho, a Mexican boy with the gift of perfect aim, and Isaiah Dorman, a 19-year-old maverick trucker with adventure on his mind. Part Jodorowsky's El Topo by way of Sam Shepard, part William Gibson by way of Larry McMurtry, Vagabone exists to make real American literature out of the New Weird Fiction canon.
