The stories of Brendan C. Byrne are spinning vortices of uncertainty where the past ceases to exist, the present is a slow burn, and the future is a vision from hell. With apocalyptic lucidity and enervated sarcasm, he summons a timeline you never agreed to live in-yet somehow already do.In Byrne’s world, an acid gaze obliterates all hope. Everyday urban tales on the surface, imperceptibly they turn to darkness. Endings bring no resolution, just a clammy clingfilm of unreality. Byrne’s stories linger like static or the taste of metal.Another world isn’t possible. This is the one we get, and you won’t forget these stories until it ends.PRAISE FOR ANOTHER WORLD ISN’T POSSIBLE'Just when it feels like the washed up, bloated corpse of genre fiction has wheezed its final breath, here comes Another World Isn’t Possible-a collection of brutal yet poignant, abstract yet precise shorts-to gatecrash the funeral and prove us all wrong.'-Tim Maughan, author of Infinite Detail'Funny, uneasy, innovative-Brendan C. Byrne’s stories are as unpredictable as they are satisfying. A wild, unexpected, eye-opening ride.'-Elvia Wilk, author of Oval'Brendan C. Byrne is unmatched as a writer of scalding, horror-bent science fiction gazing twenty minutes into the future. Across technosphere nightmares and uncanny satires, Another World Isn’t Possible showcases Byrne’s signature far-out imagination, trenchant observation, and restless edge. This is a book that’s bleak as our world is, and, in turns, funny as our world isn’t often enough.'-Joanne McNeil, author of Wrong Way and Lurking'During this precipitous stage of daily existence, it’s good to sometimes turn your attention to less directly desperate matters. Reading is always good. Reading fiction is often very good. Reading very good fiction-the kind that sticks in the mind long after you’ve finished the tale-is the best of all. These are the kind of stories Brendan C. Byrne writes, and the stories you’ll never regret having read.'-Jack Womack, author of Ambient, Heathern and Random Acts of Senseless Violence'Ruthlessly hip, transreal surreal. Worth your time.'-Rudy Rucker, author of Software, Wetware and Freeware
