Keith Deininger

In the deft hands of Keith Deininger, reality is a fickle mistress…and nothing is at seems. With deep, layered prose, Deininger brings his dark children to life. A successful writer of coming-of-age fiction discovers a ghastly side of life when the mistakes of his playboy lifestyle come back to haunt him. After a brutal car accident kills his family, a man’s world begins to change in first subtle and increasingly disturbing ways. A young boy plays in the woods alone behind his house, dreaming of what it would be like to burn it all down. A college kid out drinking with a friend meets a woman unlike anyone, or anything, he’s ever met before. 

Four stories unsettling, surreal and horrific, offered as an introduction to Deininger’s work, with an exclusive excerpt from Deininger’s latest novel, GHOSTS OF EDEN.
