Jonathan Samuel Carroll (born in 1949) is an American fiction writer primarily known for novels that might best be termed 'magic realism', 'slipstream' or 'contemporary fantasy'. He has lived in Austria since 1974. His tales are often told by unreliable narrators in a world where the fantastic is viewed as natural. The Panic Hand is a collection of stories [an expansion of the 1989 German language edition); the 1996 US edition adds the novella Black Cocktail.
