Description

Estill Salyer isn't a good person and he doesn't pretend to be. The transgressive novella follows him as he crosses the American Mid-West and South looking for victims. He is not a killer. He just likes to use people. Without redeeming qualities, he struggles to come to terms with the fate he has created for himself, as he and the rest of society attempt accept a new disease. This intentionally disjointed, experimental, and surreal novella abandons typical narration in favor of a disturbing story told by a vicious and amoral narrator. As the story breaks down, so does the narration; for example, the section, "[Dry County]," develops most of its story in the language of Carnival workers. Little to no consideration is given to the reader; rather the reader is commanded to either submit to the story or abandon it - similar to the choice Estill Salyer gives his unknowing victim. The experimental nature of this novella is not only found in the story but in the use of numbers and metaphors. Though not dystopian or science fiction, there is a bleakness in the book that lends itself to both of those genres. Read with a sense of escape to darkness. The intent of this book does not seem to be to entertain, but to explore and develop the mind of a dismal and doomed character. It is not for everyone. The author welcomes your thoughts and feedback. The story [Dry County] appeared in the on-line literary magazine Fried Chicken and Coffee in February of 2016.
