“Fanny in Development”: An Excerpt from Adrian Van Young’s “Shadows in Summerland”
In 2013, we were tremendously impressed by Adrian Van Young‘s collection The Man Who Noticed Everything, which brought together a host of sinister, elegantly-paced short stories. 2016 will bring with it his debut novel Shadows in Summerland, about spiritualism and spirit photography on the eve of the Civil War, via ChiZine Publications. We’re pleased to bring you an excerpt from it today. (An earlier version appeared in 2013 at Black Candies.)
