About this ebook
Collected here for the first time, THE SILVER COAST AND OTHER STORIES features eleven disquieting explorations of the human condition.
Retribution and reunion. Mutation and madness. Famine and hunger and war and disease.
These tales investigate the dark margins of human curiosity.
What really happened in Muhammad Ali’s last fight?
Does Florida’s skunk ape exist and, if it does, where did it come from?
What lurks beneath that slipcover on the side of that old house at the end of the street?
Go ahead—take a peek! Satisfy your curiosity, and take a long walk down the rocky sands of the Silver Coast...
“In Powell’s twisted stories, the bizarre thrives right alongside everyday ordinariness. Girls turn into crayons, zombies lure the living with irresistible Ponzi schemes, hotel suites turn macabre band managers. All the while, menace lurks in the most mundane things—in the smile of a genial salesman, in the unassuming hitchhiker on a lonely road, even in babies.”
~ Lavanya Karthik, Book Pleasures
