Talisnam: 52 Stories

by ctrlcreep

“The most puzzling literary experience of the year. CTRLCREEP has done it again.”

Fables from the static between worlds. The collected new short fictions of CTRLCREEP, who dwells among the wires. Learn the rites of insects. Learn to withstand the disassembling gaze of angels. Learn what creatures spawn at fractal's edge. Read TALISNAM, and let TALISNAM read you.

This tome contains 52 stories; one for every week of the conventional earth-year.

AI death-poetry, haunted nanobot architecture, studies of alien biology, parental vertigo and the relentless flow of ages. Walk through dreams, watch brains fray, find immortality and lose it. A cartography of speculative cosmos. Remember always that horror terminates in beauty.

Loved Sybil’s Blending, one of very few horror stories I actually enjoy

a phenomenal collection of some of the most out-there science fiction on the market. if you're a fan of the bizarre, this book is worth reading

I've never seen a book, where every short story in there, i would buy on its own.
