My Book
Horses Dream of Money is a daring collection of tales, darkly humorous, that eerily channels the surreal and sinister mood of the times. Preoccupied with the fault lines between life and death, and veering often into horror, Angela Buck brings a raw energy and witty sobriety to these accounts of human life and connection with the intimacy of fireside-storytelling, gimlet-eyed revelry in bloodletting, and a masterful sleight of hand between the fantastical and the quotidian.

Horses Dream of Money
“These stories are experimental and bold, even innovative. I was completely caught off guard by the originality of the voice and the depth and unique character of the story arcs here. Extremely original writing, in the spirit of Brian Evenson’s avant-garde horror hybrids.”
—Dan Chaon, Author of Sleepwalk
