In the hollowed-out skull of the sixteenth President of the United States, a miserable time traveler builds a modest studio apartment and isolates himself from his own time, his own space, his own species, and his own past. But when gruesome reminders of his life prior to intracranial habitation begin appearing in his freshly constructed apartment, the time traveler is forced to either contend with his memories or, failing that, to run further away from them.

This is a real brainteaser of a story, a literary matryoshka doll of the weirdest kind. I wasn’t always entirely sure what Warrick was trying to do, but it’s certainly unique. His protagonist is a misanthropic time-traveller who has devised the ultimate method of self-extinction. Slowing time to a glacial crawl, he sets up home in a miniature glass box within the skull of Abraham Lincoln, in the seconds before the assassin’s bullet enters the president’s brain. Here, in that long-lasting second, the time-traveller can enjoy his own company and contemplate mortality. But events soon remind him that mortality isn’t something grandly objective, but far more raw and intimate – and perhaps not quite so easy to shrug off. Bizarre and rather gory, this is a story that I found it very hard to like, but I can certainly appreciate its cleverness.
