Undiscovered Territories

“Bizarre, sometimes whimsical, often nightmarish, usually surreal, the stories of Robert Freeman Wexler possess the sublime logic of dreams, which makes them hard to describe but wonderfully unsettling to read.”—Lisa Tuttle

No one charts the borderland between dreams and reality, between the everyday and the fantastic, quite like Robert Freeman Wexler. This career-spanning collection of his shorter work—which includes the much-acclaimed novella “In Springfield Town” as well as new, previously unpublished stories—confirms Jeff VanderMeer’s assessment of Wexler as the leading exponent of “North American Surrealism.”

“Emotionally and stylistically complex literary fairy tales . . . reminiscent of Jonathan Swift or Jorge Luis Borges, and in all ways fantastic.”—Steve Rasnic Tem
