Neurotica Volume II (ISBN: 0-9686981-0-7) is a self-published
chapbook containing nine absurd and humorous short stories. If you
enjoy surrealism, magic realism, or anything out of the ordinary,
then you should definitely check out Neurotica Volume II.
Here's what the critics are saying about Neurotica Volume II:
"Neurotica (2), a symphonic blitzkrieg of fictions that defy
categorization, leads the reader into such terms of existence and
mind, pushing you into a room where the ceiling teeters and the floor
caves in. So deft is the author's hand, that you barely even realize
you're falling. Revealing the 'experience' beneath external
conceptions of waking life, the tales in this deceptively simple
collection are carefully sculpted attacks against reader's
expectations."
"With a healthy sense of the absurd, Straughan's stories reflect our
modern predicament and without question represent some of the best
writing I've come across in years. Reading the tales included in
Neurotica Volume II made me remember the wonders to be found
in Gogol's The Nose, and Dostoevski's Dream of a Ridiculous
Man. Straughan's stories are unique to our common every-day
experience, and deserve a larger audience. If you're looking for
something different to read this summer, I suggest you give it a
try."
"Straughan is a writer committed to disseminating his unique
vision and it's clear that, with each new anthology he produces, his
work gets stronger and more engaging, and I enjoy watching that growth.
Kadath Press offers you a rare glimpse into the mind of one of Canada's
most interesting surrealist literary talents. Don't miss out on
the opportunity!"
"Neurotica is full of surprising moments, and its absurd and
funny style is a refreshing departure from a lot of other work that
takes itself too seriously." | |||||||
