The Sundowner's Dance by Todd Keisling
"I fell in love with the dread/horror of aging with the book We Spread by Iain Reid. This one had similar themes with gross cosmic horror added in. Really enjoyed this one and I hope it finds its audience! "

This one hit home in all the right ways. If you grew up with a narcissist, you need to read this. Hell, read it anyway, but beware: it's potent and will make you feel things. Highly recommended. ...more

Quotes by Todd Keisling  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“And that’s what they want, kid. For you to strive to be more like them and less like you. Sure, you’ll never be one of them, but the illusion is there so you’ll try to be. That’s their trap and it works every time. The more you try, the more misery you’ll generate, because it goes against human nature to be so dead inside.”
Todd Keisling, The Smile Factory

“He never sees it, never gazes upon its vastness, only senses its size, a terrible dark wave seeping from the earth beneath the foundation of the old church. This impossibly formless thing, this unescapable void, it crashes over the threshold, spilling over everything in its wake, swallowing the world as it swallows minds and souls.”
Todd Keisling, Devil's Creek

“Once upon a time, maybe the greater entity of [REDACTED] cared about the souls within its walls, but that all changed when the Benefactors took over. New initiatives were put into place. The company was restructured, reorganized to suit the needs of the business.”
Todd Keisling, The Smile Factory

Topics Mentioning This Author

“If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.”
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“I had only a little time left and I didn't want to waste it on God.”
Albert Camus, L'Étranger

“For the first time I saw Death as somebody to fear instead of the gangly sack of bones who ate all of my Cheetos and saved over my games on the Playstation.”
Mercedes M. Yardley, Beautiful Sorrows

“Life isn't a support system for art. It's the other way around.”
Stephen King

“I warned you when we first started this journey that things would get nasty. Well, we’ve come to that juncture. You can skip this part if you like;”
Edward Lorn, Bay's End

WiR didn't have an ISBN, so it isn't cataloged. But! It may see the light of day at some point in the future. :)
