169 pp.
This edition limited to 50 copies. “One of the most notable characteristics of Brian Howell’s fluid and thought-provoking prose is its visual quality. His plots, such as the now-classic The Curious Case of Jan Torrentius (which we republished in 2022), are imaginative historical narratives where visual elements and political conspiracies intertwine to create a rich narrative tapestry. In his new book from Raphus Press, The Study of Sleep and Other Stories, Howell continues to explore his visual approach to storytelling, transcending mere description to evoke a cinematic experience, as if we were watching a film or a magic lantern projection. The Study of Sleep and Other Stories, particularly in the titular novella and the accompanying short stories, vividly illustrates this dynamic visuality within the realm of written narrative. “ #76157
