Grant WamackAuthor 23 books90 followersFollowFollowMarch 31, 2025I was feeling kinda down until I cracked open Mike Kleine and Dan Hoy’s book Where The Sky Meets The Ocean and The Air Tastes Like Metal and The Birds Don’t Make a Sound. There’s a vibrancy and boundless nature to the text that uplifted my spirits. I can only file this under bizarro and absurdism.Short choppy sentences, short chapters, and a never-ending flow to the book. It has vampires, detectives, the Man With One Thousand Faces, and more. One of my favorite books I’ve read this year.
Angela95 reviewsFollowFollowApril 7, 2023if any book was deserving and crazy enough to be called a fever dream it would be this one. this shit got me laughing out loud one second and having an existential crisis in the next. just absolute chaos and absurdity in the best way. also the publication being in the middle of the book? genius. do i understand the book? hell no.(i also love how nothing abt this book’s design is conventional either: the super long title, the title being displayed in an unreadable way on the cover, the long ass title being written horizontally on the spine despite it being such a short book too)

Franco Romero91 reviews7 followersFollowFollowJuly 28, 2021this novel made me think about images that recur throughout our lives, gaining meaning each time we encounter them. it also made me think about how strange every moment of life is. how unlikely. don't think too much, just enjoy the ride. a truly unique, thoughtful experiment in prose and collaborative writing.

Benjamin NiespodzianyAuthor 7 books53 followersFollowFollowDecember 31, 2023Mike Kleine and Dan Hoy have created a back-and-forth collaborative apocalyptic fever dream of a detective novel. Sparse and speedy and wild every step of the way. Evenson’s description of “detective novel on acid” is pretty spot on. I’ll build off his blurb and say it’s like if Brautigan rewrote Blade Runner 2049, or if Hunter S. Thompson rewrote Sin City. Since all parties mentioned are dead, this book will have to do. Out now with Trnsfr Books.
Sam6 reviews2 followersFollowFollowDecember 25, 2021I originally gave this four stars for some reason, maybe I didn’t fully understand it on first-read? (Also, who am I to rate someone’s art?) Anyways, it’s become one of my favorite books I’ve read this year and felt like it deserved an update at the very least.This book reads like no other, but is strewn with visuals, and certain references had me laughing out-loud.Displaying 1 - 12 of 12 reviews

4.38Want to ReadBuy on AmazonRate this bookDetectives Michael and Daniel try to solve a murder on planet Earth.“A fever of invention and imagination; I’m bewitched. Kleine and Hoy take the dense and conceptually complex and brings it to human scale with the ergonomic, precise poetics of a deconstructed and swirling detective novel. Peculiar and beautiful.”—BRONTEZ PURNELL, author of 100 Boyfriends“This is what might happen if Richard Brautigan and Derek McCormack were co-hired to rewrite the movie Collateral to make it a buddy film in which reality is constantly in the process of collapsing. Weird and wonderful and playful, this is the detective novel on acid.”—BRIAN EVENSON, author of Song for the Unraveling of the World”This book is a quest, a doorway, a surrealist play—I don’t know what the hell to call it, which is why I can’t recommend it enough. You’ve never read anything else that’s fun like this is fun.”—AMBER SPARKS, author of And I Do Not Forgive You- GenresScience Fiction
