Super Cell Anemia
by duncan b. barlow

This story follows an “electric” character who must bite down on copper strips to keep from shocking himself. Spending your days trying to avoid spontaneous combustion is a tiring thing…

“In barlow’s Cincinnati-gone-strange, a germ-obsessed electrified man finds himself at the mercy of a mutant cat man, an odd doctor, misguided policemen, and (perhaps worst of all) the terrors of dating.  Unrelentingly bizarre and mysterious, unsettling in all the right ways, Super Cell Anemia is a strange and powerful debut.”
—Brian Evenson, author of The Open Curtain, The Wavering Knife: Stories, and Altmann’s Tongue

“Prepare yourself, good reader, for you are about to have the great fortune of meeting Gilles, dreamer of dark and beautiful dreams, spinner of strange syntax, copper biter, spark shooter, cat chaser, tunnel explorer, vigilant neighbor and, most importantly, hero of this knockout novel.  Go ahead, try it, see for yourself (the guy, like the book, is high-voltage).  Shake his hand…”
—Laird Hunt, author of The Impossibly, Indiana, Indiana (The Dark and Lovely Portions of the Night), and The Exquisite
