Altmann’s Tongue: Stories and a Novella

Twenty-five short stories and a detective novella, The Sanza Affair, present a chilling collection of tales in which social institutions and human relationships dissolve without warning and with mayhem. A first collection.

Brian Evenson has added an O. Henry Award–winning short story, “Two Brothers,” to this controversial book and a new afterword, in which he describes the troubling aftermath of the book’s publication in 1994.
