Into the Void Press
2019 Foreword INDIES Finalist
“These landscapes, these characters, this prose, my god, it grabs you and it doesn’t let you go.” —Kevin Wilson, author of NOTHING TO SEE HERE
“In sharp, precise prose, Ewing renders hardscrabble stories that remind equally of Annie Proulx and Denis Johnson. These are Polaroids collected on a shelf, forgotten, and then viewed again to tell of the lives they once lovingly chronicled—now dusty, scratched, lost. The effect is magnificent.” —Christian Kiefer, author of PHANTOMS
“Ewing’s debut tunes to a haunting static.” —Foreword Reviews
In Jeff Ewing’s collection of stories, his diversely American characters run, stumble, and feel their way through the unsettled territory between who they are and who they might become. From a story of a man living in the shadow of an abandoned missile silo that may hold the answer to a mystery of vanished children, to one of a small-town beauty tentatively courting stardom, Ewing’s sparse, musical prose illuminates lives lived in that space between fear and courage, hope and regret, life and death. Fog remembers, revenge beckons, and loneliness gives birth to fragile beauty–while in the distance the future gleams, speeding away toward the horizon.
