This is one of the strangest and most unique horror and magical realism novellas I have ever read. It is the story of Left and Right, two halves of a man who was cut in half. They have no memory of who they were before they were separated, but still manage to build a life together until one of them decides to put distance between himself and his brother. I love this delightfully strange book and I am so grateful to Tenebrous Press for publishing it. <3
