Recent reviews for "St. Perpetuus" by "Financial Times" and "Publishers Weekly":

"The multi-layered narrative is full of surprises, and the conclusion provides a modest grace note that beautifully befits the tale." ("Financial Times")

“A chance discovery in the margin notes of an old book opens a young man up to fantastic possibilities in his everyday world in Carlson’s first novel, a freewheeling bibliophilic adventure… Unpredictable and steeped in allusions to classic and contemporary works, this spry exercise in magic realism can be enjoyed as a parable on how our reading transforms our perception of the world.” ("Publishers Weekly")

Welcome


Hello. My name’s Eric Stener Carlson. I’m a writer from the U.S. currently based in Santiago de Chile.

You can find links to my books (and short stories) on this site.

Because I travel so much, it’s been a challenge to keep in touch with my readers. Now, via this webpage, you can ask me questions, and I can give you updates about my upcoming work.

The big news is that my first novel, published late last year, "The Saint Perpetuus Club of Buenos Aires" has sold out already!

It was a great experience working with Tartarus Press, and I really thank all my fans for your support. From your e-mails to blogs to reviews, I really have to say it meant a lot to me.

What's next?

Well, I have a number of book projects in the works, and I continue writing supernatural stories set within my favorite city, Buenos Aires.

I'll update you soon, as my new work comes out.

In the mean time, thanks, again, for all your support, and feel free to e-mail me through this website.

All the best,

Eric
