We’ve been excited about Vol.1 Brooklyn contributor duncan b. barlow’s forthcoming novel The City, Awake ever since we heard that New Mexico’s Stalking Horse Press (the same publisher behind D. Foy’s terrific Patricide) would be releasing it in 2017.

Now the book’s cover has been released–a moody, stark image in keeping with what promises to be a surreal foray into obsession and fanaticism. Stalking Horse describes the book as “a vivid investigation of identity, scientific speculation, and Biblical Apocrypha,” which sounds all kinds of interesting. The book will be published in the spring of 2017, and we’re eager to get our hands on a copy.
