Sonhos Febris e Rabiscos Bebados (Livro de Bolso)
A collection of twenty bizarre and disconnected short stories by Andy Rausch.
The book offers a diverse array of narrative experiments that refuse to adhere to standard genre boundaries. Each story operates independently, allowing themes of identity, violence, and absurdity to emerge without repetition. The inclusion of historical figures like John Wayne alongside fictional monsters creates a distinct tone that mixes reverence with grotesque humor. This approach allows the author to examine human nature through exaggerated and often violent scenarios. The lack of connection between tales forces the reader to engage with each premise on its own terms, highlighting the versatility of Rausch’s storytelling capabilities across different subgenres of speculative fiction.
Published in 2023 by Next Chapter, this pocket book joins a lineage of American horror and supernatural fiction that embraces the grotesque. It reflects contemporary interest in fragmented narratives and dark comedy within the genre.
