Since his earliest stories, Brian Keene has deconstructed the mystique of the writing life. Isolation, relationships lost, long hours, inconsistent paychecks, and professional heartbreak are all part of the job. Keene has unflinchingly laid bare the realities of the full-time writer. Where We Live and Die collects Brian Keene's best stories about the writing life, including his metafictional ghost story masterpiece "The Girl on the Glider," a glimpse of Adam Senft (from Keene's Dark Hollow and Ghost Walk) in Hell, and a never-before-printed spoken word poem encapsulating the history of the horror genre. Where We Live and Die is a masterful collection by a Grandmaster of Horror and a fictional guidebook for the working writer. Views: 16
