B R Yeager

"Like smoke off a collision between Dennis Cooper's George Miles Cycle and Beyond The Black Rainbow, absorbing the energy of mind control, reincarnation, parallel universes, altered states, school shootings, obsession, suicidal ideation, and so much else, B.R. Yeager's multi-valent voicing of drugged up, occult youth reveals fresh tunnels into the gray space between the body and the spirit, the living and the dead, providing a well-aimed shot in the arm for the world of conceptual contemporary horror." -Blake Butler, author of Three Hundred Million "Ever wonder where teenage children go at night? Perhaps it's best not knowing the answer. There's something amiss in Kinsfield, a drab, boring city much like your own, except for the teenage suicide epidemic, stagnant, ineffectual parents, cultish behavior that borders on psychosis, and strings, strings everywhere. B.R. Yeager's Negative Space is a hypnotic collage of message boards, memes, and ruined bodies twisting at the end of a rope. Most modern novels have lost all concept of magic. B.R. Yeager's Negative Space is a stunning refutation of the quotidian." -James Nulick, author of Haunted Girlfriend & Valencia

           i gagged i wretched i cried i gaped....... this was crazy from start to finish. saw someone describe this as a literary black hole and i can't agree more. the longer i read the more i felt myself being hollowed out & despondent at everything that happened. from the series of suicides that rattled me just as i was warming up to the characters, to the nebulous practice of old christian(?) magick, to the intense body horror.. i just couldn't feel myself intact post-book. well done yeager, i'm going to sleep forever now.

A Fever Dream of a Book. While I think the latter half couldn’t quite keep up with the mesmerizing weirdness of the first half, this was an experience.
