Horror aficionados, if you haven't read Brian Evenson's work, do so. His novel Last Days, whoa. Evenson explains his creative/literary take in the prologue of his short story collection, Altann's Tongue thusly:
A final word: You have been driving in the car, a man pointing a gun at you head, and now he has left the car and you are free. Everything around you has gone strange. You are no in the same world you were in before the gun bruised your temple. You have the suspicion that you are no longer yourself.
Now, now that you are free (if it really is you), the question is, How do you make sense of your life?
I couldn't make much sense of my life before being left in the car.
