PUBLISHERS WEEKLY | STARRED REVIEW
Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror Book Review: The Road to Woop Woop and Other Stories by Eugen Bacon. Meerkat, $16.95 trade paper (200p) ISBN 978-1-946154-31-6
Eugen Bacon. Meerkat, $16.95 trade paper (200p) ISBN 978-1-946154-31-6 Bacon ( Claiming T-Mo) delivers a commanding and visionary collection of speculative shorts, encompassing surrealism, fantasy, science fiction, and gorgeous, painterly literary fiction. It would be a disservice to call any of these 24 stories the standout, as each is impressive and beautifully rendered in Bacon’s distinct, poetic voice.
The Road to Woop Woop & Other Stories
Eugen Bacon’s work is deemed cheeky with a fierce intelligence in text that’s resplendent, delicious, dark and evocative. NPR called her novel Claiming T-Mo ‘a confounding mysterious tour de force’. The Road to Woop Woop and Other Stories imbues the same lushness in a writerly language that is Bacon’s own. This peculiar hybrid of the untraditional, the extraordinary within, without and along the borders of normalcy will hypnotise and absorb the reader with tales that refuse to be labelled. The stories in this collection are dirges that cross genres in astounding ways. Over 20 provocative tales, with seven original to this collection, by an award-winning African Australian author.
