Tantra Bensko's 'Lucid Membrane' is a captivating set of stories and - if you have the color version of this book - of stories-within-and-across-stories as you follow the coded trails.
Each story tempts and eludes your grasp equally. It beguiles and it escapes.
It explores, it shocks, it resonates.
It is constructed from words, from vapour.
Yet it lingers.
“This prose shimmers like a cubist rendition of nonexistence.” Kyle Muntz
