Over at his blog, Jeff VanderMeer has made available to read, The Compass of His Bones.
In an interview he once said of the story:
I did take “The Compass of His Bones” as a personal challenge — the ending of that story had evaded me for ten years, so I sat down and ground it out, and the ground it out again… and the funny thing is, I think the difficulty, the sheer bloody-mindedness it took to excruciatingly find the core of that story served a purpose — it made the ending of the story much more visceral. I was, on the level of creation, going through what the character is going through, and it kind of gets into the text.
