About the Book

"Bleak, melancholy, and intelligent like the best by Thomas Ligotti and Jon Padgett, these tales unmistakably come from a deep, personal place and will best resonate with searchers after metaphysical horrors." -Dejan Ognjanovic, RUE MORGUE The Puppet King and Other Atonements conjures a horrific universe of puppets, labyrinths, and liminal spaces. Over the span of fourteen Borgesian terrors, Justin A. Burnett inhabits the strange borderlands between intimacy and isolation, fiction and philosophy, reality and nightmare. Sprouting from the blackened landscape of weird writers such as Thomas Ligotti, Jon Padgett, and Brian Evenson, this collection is a bleak, unflinching gaze into the vertiginous depths of the nonhuman.

Review :
"An inheritor to the mantles of Ligotti and Langan, Justin Burnett writes bleak, unrelenting and philosophically challenging horror that chills every dimension of its reader-mind, body, and spirit. Through lush prose, his debut collection, The Puppet King and Other Atonements, unravels the fabric of reality to explore the deepest trenches of loss, self, and human experience that lie beneath its frayed surface. Burnett is an exciting new writer to watch and The Puppet King is well worth your attention." -Kurt Fawver, author of WE ARE HAPPY, WE ARE DOOMED "With grippingly beautiful prose, Justin Burnett weaves a tapestry of philosophical and existential nightmares that speak to grief, love, identity, and the human condition. These tales have weight and immediacy; they give us glimpses of the dark, unfathomable edges of the world, pulling back just enough to leave a lasting impact that had me still chewing over the stories long after reading, savoring each one. There are flashes of Ligotti, Langan, Barron, and Padgett, yet make no mistake: this is a wholly original collection that ought to cement Burnett as a must-read new author. He has crafted some of the most compelling horror I've read in recent memory, and I can't wait to see what Burnett has in store for us next. Do yourself a favor: read this one with the lights on!" -Jo Kaplan, author of IT WILL JUST BE US "A collection brimming with sublime torments. Burnett masterfully grasps the transcendent grotesque, weaving tales charged with cosmic danger. A refreshing and powerful new voice in contemporary dread." -Rebecca Gransden, author of SEA OF GLASS "Burnett takes you through a journey of contrasts. At once delicate and painfully intimate, yet vast, reverberant and strange, The Puppet King and Other Atonements draws the reader deep into the primordial to the very edge of the stars. Highly recommended." -Emma J. Gibbon, author of DARK BLOOD COMES FROM THE FEET "Burnett weaves a surreal web of horror that is familiar, uncomfortable, and beautiful. Many images from The Puppet King are going to haunt me for a long time." -Vincenzo Bilof, author of THE PROFANE
