Spinning the Vast Fantastic

Britton Shurley

In a news cycle where horrors have become the mundane, it's easy to forget the fantastic things: an incident where meat falls from the sky, or a chicken who lives months past its own beheading. So Spinning the Vast Fantastic zeroes in on specific wonders. From the rolling hills of Kentucky, Britton Shurley sends a love letter to the small things-- a stroll through the pasture, a night at the whiskey bar-- and invites us back to our own bizarre imaginations.
