Summary

The uneasy feeling that you’ve forgotten to do something; the sound of a flat note in an otherwise perfect piano concerto. A quiet evening disrupted by a slight creak of a floorboard when you are alone in the house.
 
The stories in this collection all hinge on the precipice of this uncanny feeling.
 
Ranging from horror to science fiction, the short stories include a detective investigating the resurrection of a suspect, a man and his guardian angel drinking at a bar, the physical manifestation of anxiety, the boogie man detained by the CIA, a Shakespearian roleplaying game and many others.
Available since: 10/19/2022.
Print length: 94 pages.

    International Booker-longlisted author Clemens Meyer returns with Dark Satellites, a striking collection of stories about marginal characters in contemporary Germany. A train driver's life is upended when he hits a laughing man on the tracks on his night shift; a lonely train cleaner makes friends with a hairdresser in the train station bar; and a young man, unable to return to his home after a break-in, wanders the city in a state of increasing unrest. From the home to places of work, Meyer transforms the territories of our everyday lives into sites of rupture and connection. Unsentimental and yet deeply moving, Dark Satellites is a collection of stories from our time, as dark as the world, as beautiful as the brightest of hopes.
