My Eyes Are Black Holes, Paperback

Jack just wants to sleep. He wants to sleep and never leave his bed or the room he lives in within a mysterious mansion on Chicago's Logan Boulevard. But, when events force him to wander, his fragile psyche and questionable memory turns a simple journey out of his room into a nightmarish odyssey, all within the confines of his labyrinthine house. It's a nightmare Jack navigates with half-opened eyes, believing his eyes harness the destructive power of black holes. Jack's tale may not be a haunted house story, but when all's said and done, the house on Logan Boulevard will be haunted-that is, if it can survive Jack's opened eyes.MY EYES ARE BLACK HOLES is a book of madness, drawing the reader into its sticky web of tangled logic, false memory, hallucination, and violence. This is a tale that leaves readers with questions and tests perspective in ways similar to a David Lynch film. Questions create mystery. Mystery creates madness. And madness is maddening.

About the Author:

Logan Ryan Smith writes unclassifiable fiction that fits somewhere in between dark fantasy, transgressive, and literary, all with a dark comedy underbelly and lyrical leaning. His other book of fiction, Enjoy Me (Transmission Press, 2015), is a collection of interconnected stories all told from the main character's POV. Though focusing exclusively on fiction now, his poetry books include The Singers & The Notes (Dusie Press, 2007), Stupid Birds (Transmission Press, 2007), and, more recently, Bug House (Mission Cleaners Books, 2013)-a narrative series of poems that shares many of the same fantastical and thematic elements of his fiction. His stories have appeared in Hobart Journal, Meat for Tea: The Valley Review, and Great Lakes Review, which nominated his story "Bret Easton Ellis" for a Pushcart Prize. Logan currently lives in Chicago.
