Wagner’s work has been described as “trenchant,†“entrancing,†and “a force to be reckoned with.†This collection of short stories, poems, and essays combines some of his most penetrating writing from the past decade with a handful of new, previously unpublished pieces, including:
The secret mythology of the American pioneers.
A tale of a suicidal dragon who makes a remarkable self-discovery.
The saga of a simple man who decides he no longer needs to breathe.
A fable about a moon that is filled with water.
The story of an introvert who pretends to be a Jehovah’s Witness so that he can finally make a friend.
Along with stories of gothic and Lovecraftian horror, surreal microfiction, short essays on inspiration and courageous living, and poems on natural mystery, passion, and social justice.
