Red Dot Irreal

*This re-released second edition contains three new stories: "Big Chief," "Bachy Soletanche," and "Occupy: An Exhibition," the last of which was especially written for this edition.*

Travel to Southeast Asia on wings of the fantastic for Jason Erik Lundberg's debut short-story collection *Red Dot Irreal*.

There you'll meet pirates and shamans, wise fish and mystical storytellers, living monuments and paper animals, time travelers and civet cats, stone taxi drivers, floating dental patients, and a sentient bird park. Once you enter the surreal worlds of Lundberg's equatorial fantastika, a part of you will never leave.

“I am not usually a fan of magic realist tales or stories that blend the contemporary mundane with magic, but Lundberg’s collection of ‘equatorial fantastika’ may make me a convert. Each of these stories are carefully crafted and make exceptional use of Lundberg’s own time and space for narratives that are equal parts Kafka, ancient folklore, and travelogue. [...] You absolutely must read *Red Dot Irreal*.” —*Grasping for the Wind*
