Visit the abandoned places outside town where the glittering birds scream, the hidden underground laboratory from the obscure online video clip, the restaurant on the sound where visitors come from the sea, the beauty camp where daughters are sent after they die. Witness the vaudeville performance that calls forth palpable spirits, the difficulty of Cold Ma’s love, the strange portal that invites scientists to fragment the world. Dive deep into the cold ocean in search of the shark that grants one wish. Open the third eye, located slightly off center, and see into another place where time and bodies blur. Meet the ghosts left behind when all the rockets have departed.
Three-Lobed Burning Eye features short fiction of horror and the fantastical, stories that call the reader to dance with strange beasts or lost love, to conjure spirits from eternal shadows, and step through the fiery gate of imagination.
