World Fantasy, British Fantasy, and Bram Stoker Award winning writer STEVE RASNIC TEM's short fiction has been compared to the work of Franz Kafka, Dino Buzzati, Ray Bradbury, and Raymond Carver. Onion Songs gathers work from the absurdist side of his massive oeuvre, with 5 previously unpublished fictions and another 37 tales reprinted from a variety of literary & genre sources going back to the early 1980s. The emphasis is on the bizarre, the off-beat, and the meditative, with stories ranging in form from prose poetry vignettes and more conventional structures to such unusual presentations as the standalone prose for a virtual fiction-based card game, and the text for his all-puppet theatrical, The Mask Child.
