Split Tongues booklet Highly recommended John Claude Smith English Split Tongues is my first exposure to Kristi DeMeester s work also my first exposure to the publisher Dim Shores The publisher has created a beautiful chapbook well laid out nice paper she came back to her love of dark fiction and began writing it in earnest A devoted student of the Weird and all things spooky and lovely she has published short stories in a variety of publications An example of her work can also be foud in Year s Best Weird Fiction Volume 1. Book Split tongues This is copy 138 of 150 numbered copies English Be aware this is not a novel but a very limited run chapbook of two stories Both stories are wonderfully atmospheric oblique and creepy English Two stories from the ether regions of consciousness both diaphonous and prickly English With beautiful disquieting finesse Kristi DeMeester delivers a powerful one two punch with this ber limited micro collection. Split tongue causes The title story centering around a teenager struggling with the strange yet heartbreaking events unfolding in her broken family is thick with a distinctly not quite palpable dread And in The Dream Eater a girl and her mother are spending their days struggling to survive all while the narrative terror builds with the same creeping intent as the grass surrounding their house. Split tongue bru Kristi DeMeester s dark prose is at once lucid and vivid culminating in a disturbing mood so thick that the reader can virtually push it off of themselves like an obsidian blanket. Split Tongues book If you re lucky enough to snag a copy of this too too limited book do so immediately but I recommend enjoying a good night s sleep before delving into these two beautiful nightmares for sleep may not come easily thereafter English

Two well written intelligent and truly weird tales from an up and coming talent I enjoyed both the first Split Tongues being the stronger of the two but the second The Dream Eater had an interestingly unique assortment of speculative elements English This chapbook is beautifully haunting DeMeester s stories are exactly what I love best about weird body horror stories they are intimate despairing and beautiful I can t wait to get my hands on her forthcoming collection Everything That s Underneath English Two tautly told tales make up this collection from Dim Shores Each is strong in its own right and the author takes great care to include small details that unite the two pieces I was particularly interested in the juxtaposition of expulsion and consumption that form the backbones of each story DeMeester is adept at imagining strange and unsettling happenings in her stories but what makes them work so well is the emotional development of the characters and their relationships If I had to pick a favorite of the two it would have to be the opening story which I think benefits from spending a little time developing the trajectory of the main character but they are both strong enough to be included for consideration in any of the myriad year end horror weird fantasy anthologies that will come around for 2016 publications The artwork as always from this publisher is an excellent complement to the stories English Split Tongues is a pair of short stories not connected but for a thematic similarity focusing on dysfunctional and bizarre families or specifically a young woman protagonist and her mother Both pieces are creepy mysterious and painful with top notch prose Kristi DeMeester is one of the most talented and promising writers of the latest generation to emerge on the Weird Fiction scene Split Tongues is another winner from Dim Shores so grab a copy before they re gone forever English Beautiful. Split Tongues bookkeeping Rarely do I feel compelled to immediately reread a book or story as I finish it like I did with these two stories Having only read these two stories by her so far I can tell she knows the mechanics of writing relatively straightforward prose with some nice poetic lines when appropriate it flows very well and doesn t detract from the story The atmosphere throughout both stories is among some of the best I ve read throughout was a sense of melancholy longing and consistently unsettling Dark depressing stuff. Split tongue baby e Alec could have been a little better like Brianne was The only other possible negative I can think of at the moment was the incident in the parking lot of the first story I m not quite sure yet how I think about it. Split Tongues booklet I sometimes like to read synopsis of a story or book I m going to start With this chapbook however it be best to jump right in without any foreknowledge of what each story is about. Split tongues pictures A combination of both technical talent and great ideas Demeester is most definitely an author I will be keeping an eye on in the future I m still surprised I never heard of her before these two stories I m glad I blind bought it Now to hunt down every other story by her I doubt I can wait until her eventual release in 2017 of her collection Everything That s Underneath to read by her English .
