Delighted to announce that Critical Density is publishing Michael D. Thalmann’s Dimly, Through Glass in May.
Our editors mused at his first book, 13 Lives of a Television Repairman that our sister imprint, Space Dock has published.
When you get a good’un we try to keep him/her so Michael joins Leighton Dean and Gary Compton in the Critical Density stable.
We actually used a model for this cover so the makeup artist should get a medal.
The blurb:
“Dennis Foster is not too different from you and me, other than his inability to say no to those little synaptic flashes that catch in his brain. Dennis’s switch has been flipped and he sees himself only dimly, as though reflected only in part, but he will come to know himself, face to face with the venomous monstrosity behind the glass.
Driven by a sense of inadequacy and self-loathing, instilled in him first by his mother, and then by his failures with every woman who has tried to replace her. Though he has been given an opportunity to reclaim the masculinity, and control he relinquished so long ago, his troubled past and incomprehensible urges, buried and hidden for years, will boil over into a homicidal frenzy.
His carefully crafted façade will decay, leaving only the vulnerable truth.”
