Zombie Land

Gabriel Smith's Brat is a short novel about a young man named Gabriel who must sell his recently deceased father's house, and discovers, thanks to some fiction manuscripts and VHS tapes left behind by his parents (because the manuscripts and the tapes are magically different every time he picks them up) that parallel universes probably exist and that the interference from those universes are what we call ghosts. In the process of having this deep thought, Gabriel’s skin slakes off and heals, and slakes off again. He also has strange wounds. He also pops Xanax. It’s possible he’s just losing his mind (à la Poe).
