Book Reviews of The Unsettling
Book Review: the unexplainable, the mysterious
Summary: 4 Stars
pete rock's got a knack for finding the unknowable in the everyday. he takes the gaps in perception and, through story, gives glimpses at what might fill those mysterious areas we can't perceive and just can't quite reason away.
you'll walk around for days a bit bewildered, a bit spacey, expecting the fanastical.
Summary of The Unsettling
A stunning, Poe-esque collection of short fiction about outsiders, lost dogs, romance, and life's surprising mysteries.Populated by strangers, ghosts, and other shadowy figures, the thirteen stories in The Unsettling attend to those startling moments when what we have understood as familiar is suddenly revealed as mysterious and foreign.
A lonely man saving library books from an outbreak of mold listens to a coworker's tale about a blind woman and imbues it with his own sense of romance; a woman drives a Gold Firebird through the desert with a television playing "Rockford Files" reruns on the passenger seat; and a girl returns to her childhood home to spy on its new inhabitants, not realizing they are aware of her surveillance.
Told through Rock's imaginative and wholly original voice, these are haunted tales about fascination, transformation, and the relationship between the two.
