The Warren

“A creepy, mind-bending quest of identity and mystery, told with a master’s skill. No one explores inner landscapes quite like Brian Evenson.” —Jeff VanderMeer, New York Times–bestselling author of Annihilation

X doesn’t have a name. He thought he had one—or many—but that might be the result of the failing memories of the personalities imprinted within him. Or maybe he really is called X.

He’s also not as human as he believes himself to be.

But when he discovers the existence of another—above ground, outside the protection of the Warren—X must learn what it means to be human, or face the destruction of their two species.

The Warren is a novella from Brian Evenson, the award-winning author of Last Days.

“A suspenseful, darkly comic tale . . . The Warren is chilling because X’s situation is not only impossible but truly, inherently irresolvable. It ends as all horror stories should, with a question mark.” —The New York Times Book Review

“Area X meets Duncan Jones’ first and finest movie Moon in a marvelously mystifying novella that wants to know what it means to be human in a world where people can be constructed like sculptures shaped from clay.” —The Speculative Scotsman

“What is a human? What is a person? The Warren is a truly original exploration of these questions—the kind of work that causes one to re-examine long-held certainties. Profound and deeply unsettling, in the best way possible.” —Charles Yu, New York Times–bestselling author of Interior Chinatown
