About this product
Product Information
Ex-cop Mona Bright has been living a hard couple of years on the road, but when her estranged father dies, she finds she's had a home all along: a little house her deceased mother once owned in Wink, New Mexico.And though every map denies Wink exists, Mona finds they're wrong: not only is Wink real, it is the perfect American small town, somehow retaining all the Atomic Age optimism the rest of world has abandoned.But the closer Mona gets to her mother's past, the more she understands that the people in Wink are very, very different - and what's more, Mona begins to recognize her own bond to this strange place, which feels more like home every day.

Praise for Robert Jackson Bennett: "The Troupeis true magic: a gripping tale that reminds the audience why we fell in love with reading. This book enchants, leaving the audience on their feet, yelling for an encore." - Mat Johnson "...Bennett's finely crafted novel rises on a wave of suspense to a place of beauty and hope." -Publishers WeeklyonThe Troupe "Like a collaboration between Stephen King and John Steinbeck." ---Publishers WeeklyonMr. Shivers "Compelling and truly horrifying, this debut novel is highly recommended for all fiction and horror collections." ---Library Journal(Starred Review) onMr. Shivers "Mr. Shiversis a startling debut, a deft amalgam of thriller, cerebral horror and American gothic, written with a stark and artful simplicity that complements the examination of struggling humanity pushed to its limits." --- The Guardian (UK), "Bennett gives the idealized image of the American dream a pan-dimensional twist with this alien invasion tale, part Bradbury and part L'Engle with a dash of Edward Scissorhands... Readers will be captivated from start to finish."-- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) on American Elsewhere, Bennett gives the idealized image of the American dream a pan-dimensional twist with this alien invasion tale, part Bradbury and part L'Engle with a dash of Edward Scissorhands... Readers will be captivated from start to finish., The novel starts out curious and odd but quickly becomes terrifying and haunting, as the author reveals more about the people of Wink, who just may be the most curious and intimidating collection of folks you're likely to meet outside the pages of Stephen King.... A beautifully written, claustrophobic, and deeply memorable horror novel., American Elsewhere conjures up echoes of the best works of Ray Bradbury and Stephen King. ... American Elsewhere manages to surprise, terrify and move the reader., Bennett's novel may remind readers of the early works of Stephen King, presenting a small town where nothing is what it seems.... Bennett's work also evokes a mood similar to that of Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves , where every darkness may swallow a person only to spit them out into a place akin to Wonderland., Compelling and truly horrifying, this debut novel is highly recommended for all fiction and horror collections., So American Elsewhere is basically so good that I want to camp outside @robertjbennett's house until he tells me his secret., "Bennett's novel may remind readers of the early works of Stephen King, presenting a small town where nothing is what it seems....

It's not to be missed.-- Seattle Times|9780316200202|, "So American Elsewhere is basically so good that I want to camp outside @robertjbennett's house until he tells me his secret."-- Adam Christopher, Mad and humorous, gory and poignant, American Elsewhere is a sort of mid-20th-century retelling of the embodiment of Lovecraftian Elder Gods by way of Alamogordo's legendary atomic tests.
