Beware Us Flowers of the Devil
Eibonvale Press, 2024
The author's sixth mini-collection chapbook. Limited edition hardcover, available exclusively with preorders for the full-length book, Beware Us Flowers of the Annihilator. 4 stories, 70 pages.
"One of the quintessential hallmarks of Zelenyj's prose which I love is his focus on broken people who are searching for meaning in a world which refuses to offer easy answers, landing his subjects in spaces where brutality and tenderness tend to coexist. He has a quiet force to his writing, one that draws out emotion in ways that continue to stay under my skin long after the final page has been turned. Beware Us Flowers of the Devil is another strong example of his unique, haunted imagination—a book that despite its darkness, radiates a strange and unsettling beauty. I read it twice, and I absolutely loved it. Very highly recommended, as is everything else I've ever read by this author."
- Nancy Oakes, Oddly Weird Fiction
"Canadian short story master Alexander Zelenyj returns with more strangeness to savour...Straddling two decades, and longer, this exceptionally talented Canadian writer has consistently created stories combining horror, science fiction and fantasy, often with a compassionate eye on the human condition."
Overall: 5/5 Stars
- Tony Jones, Horror DNA
