At the Bottom of the Sky

"e;The titles of each of these linked stories, named for Greek mythic figures, where characters reappear and disappear, give the reader a clue to the subject matter, providing a kind of archetypal key and structure. And though plot is not in the forefront, each story is an adventure in the sense that each challenges its characters in often profound subconscious or primitive ways."e; – Trebor Healy, author of Faun and Through It Came Bright Colors, from his introduction to the anniversary editionThe stories in Peter Dubé's collection, At the Bottom of the Sky, unspool surreal, gothic-tinged post-modern reveries, populated by obsessive, vividly drawn figures whose inner lives radiate a restless, poetic intensity.
