“This is an amazing quote saying Nate is the Next Big Thing.”
—SOME FAMOUS AUTHOR

Famous Authors Who Do Think Nathan Is Awesome

“Young Sellyn’s stories are shockingly good. This is a fine, fine first collection with a dark heart. And Sellyn is a writer at the start of a great career.” —Joseph Boyden, author of Three-Day Road

“An impressive debut. These are powerful stories, suspenseful and unpredictable, aimed for the jugular.” —Joyce Carol Oates

“Nathan Sellyn is a smart, fearless and uncommonly wise new writer. His deceptively lean stories uncover delicate truths lurking within moments of brutality.” —Kevin Chong, author of Neil Young Nation and Baroque-a-Nova

About Indigenous Beasts
Indigenous Beasts is a chilling collection of stories from Nathan Sellyn — an extraordinary storyteller and a bold, young writer whose work is energetic, shocking and disturbing. These stories glimpse into the lives of young men who are intriguing, seductive and sometimes despicable, and are lost in their efforts to make sense of their relationships, both with women — girlfriends, mothers, strippers — and men — fathers, co-workers, dealers. These stories are raw and seething, intense with despair and depravity. They are bloody and beautiful and full of wisdom, and their pathetic heroes struggle towards some unattainable and off-kilter moral standard.
