Jonathan Carroll’s standalone novels span more than three decades, from The Land of Laughs in 1980 to Mr. Breakfast in 2019. These books share Carroll’s characteristic style of taking everyday situations and slowly introducing elements of the fantastic until the ordinary world cracks open to reveal something stranger underneath.
The standalones include some of his most acclaimed work. White Apples and Glass Soup explore the afterlife with dark humor, while Bathing the Lion asks what happens when retired angels begin to remember their former lives. Each novel stands on its own while contributing to the larger body of work that has made Carroll one of the most respected voices in modern fantasy.
