Excerpts of thrum
Press for thrum
[review at Broad Street Review]
Praise for thrum
“A nightmarish image-blasting assault on the senses, McConnell’s thrum evokes the early visions of J.G. Ballard in a new and beautiful way.”
– Shane Jones, author of Light Boxes and Vincent and Alice and Alice
“In thrum, Jon Chaiim McConnell achieves that rare thing, a concise and hypnotizing speculative novella whose innovative, futuristic content mirrors and matches its language. A current of electricity blazes, literally and figuratively, through this brief but unforgettable debut.”
– John Keene, author of Counternarratives
“This is a live wire of a book, a language-driven, searing and startling picture of a not quite apocalyptic society on the verge, a world rotted differently but just as crumbling as ours.”
– Amber Sparks, author of And I Do Not Forgive You
