Lethargica

This short story of 6000 words explores a unique and tragic aspect of the early 1900s. Almost forgotten by history, overshadowed by World War One and the Spanish Flu epidemic that followed, this strange phenomenon touched the lives of millions. 

Reviewers write: "I really liked this one... The writing style reminded me of Tim O'Brien meets Humphrey Cobb meets Ken Kesey meets Joe R. Lansdale..."

"...a touching tale, written in Edward Carpenter's unique voice. It has very poetic prose with a wide variety of adjectives and metaphors that build the mood of the piece perfectly."
