READ FOR YOUR LIFE!
After God created the Prison of the World, he threw away the key. In this collection of uncanny and disconcerting stories, a few unfortunate but charismatic innocents seek to find it. Any luck? Read Divine In Essence to find out!
- Ten tales of the Strange to unchain you from the Real:
- —a young boy captive in his stepmother’s glass eye,
- —the engrossing diary of a sassy and intrepid girl-ghost,
- —an “impudent” woman consigned to a passive life in a mirror,
- —a mutilated Fury ransacking the dream world,
- —Icarus mired in Brigitte Bardot,
- —and more!
The stories of Divine In Essence exemplify a sui generis slipstream style that deftly weaves a psychedelic literary fabric from elements of Fabulism, Occult Horror, Irrealism, and the Weird. Attune your mind and be transformed. Escape!
(Nota bene for trigger-sensitive peeps: contains disturbing scenes, harm to children, and ontological dysphoria—sometimes even all at once.)

—E. Catherine Tobler, author of The Necessity of Stars
- “With his trademark sly humor, Paisley has created a world in a glass eye, a tour de force guaranteed to give readers delightful nightmares.”
