The Human Detour:
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
For most, The Thomsky Fluke may read like a madman's diary from a terrible near future, or a twisted parallel Earth inhabiting the shadow of our own lineage of Human events. Most of Davis' shorts hinge on his unique brand of mild Orwellian science fiction, a brand of deliberate forging that thinly veils a pulsating supernatural horror. Usually beginning with the utterly mundane, events gradually find their way into a kind of Camus-esque absurdity, sprinkled with a lovecraftian acuteness to detail, and ending in a bizarre twist of happenstance. The unfolding Human drama usually proves to be anything but that, "Human" - as we understand it. Recommended companion to "Exile and the Kingdom"
