You Want it Darker
“Dying republics engulfed in flame,” “frightening.” Those are some of the words Will Ferguson, the iconic multi-genre, multi-award-winning Canadian author, chose to describe my forthcoming novel in satire, The View from Stansberry Lookout, to be released by Canadian publisher Guernica World Editions on Sept. 1, 2026. Here is Will’s blurb, in full: “The View from Stansberry Lookout is a tale for our times. A richly imagined satire of quantum doorways and dying republics engulfed in flames—both metaphorical and real—it is timely, funny, and frightening. Dystopia has never been so fun. Fans of Vonnegut, rejoice! —Will Ferguson, Leacock-winning author of Meanwhile, Back in Nokomis”
As Leonard Cohen put it: “You want it darker; we kill the flame.”
