Highway B: Horrorfest is the first in a 16-book cycle exploring the
various dimensions found along Highway B. The stories are transportive
and sui generis; a blend of Sci-Fi, speculative fiction and futurism,
they provide the same jolt one gets upon first reading Borges, Calvino
and Kawabata.
Highway B: Horrorfest is a collection of short stories exploring
diagonal dimensions that, to varying degrees, are aware of and
influenced by one another. The stories take place on a planet--or within
the notion of a planet as communal hallucinatory canvas--referred to as
B.
Readers are guided through simulation gulags and simulation resorts,
introduced to a bestiary, brought into sex parties and brothels that
might be myths and might be extinction events, and given a curated
history of the tribes, artificial intelligence, religions, iconoclasts,
scientific and spiritual illusions that shape these dimensions. All of
this is experienced under the influence of various lunar dusts that
remove filters onto reality.
