Synopsis
From the award-winning author, &“the kind of collection that lodges in your brain like a malignant grain of an evil dream&” (Laird Barron, author of The Imago Sequence).Winner of the This Is Horror AwardFinalist for the Shirley Jackson AwardFinalist for the Bram Stoker Award This is not your cookie-cutter horror collection. Stephen Graham Jones has taken nightmarish visions from his fevered imagination and crafted them into pieces of literary genius. If the absolute fear doesn&’t sweep you away, his lyrical and haunting prose will. As Joe R. Lansdale states in the introduction, &“You need this book. If you like anything close to horror, and also like your stories to have elements other than just standing in the darkness with a bloody knife, you have the right book. Enjoy.&” Does holding your breath for two minutes during the scariest part of a horror movie invite the terror in? Just ask the kids who go to the local theater in &“Thirteen.&” In &“Doc&’s Story,&” even the most beloved family tales have teeth—that&’s what happens when you&’re born into a werewolf pack. And a father doesn&’t have to think twice when he&’s given one chance to make the ultimate sacrifice in &“Snow Monsters.&” In these fifteen stories, Jones coaxes our greatest fears from the shadowy corners of our minds, and we can&’t turn away. &“With razor-sharp prose . . . he pummels us in a full-court press of discomfort, paranoia, and a desire to keep the lights on.&” —Pantheon Magazine &“Jones is a true master of the horror short story. Inventive, quirky, unexpected and masterful.&” —Jonathan Maberry, New York Times–bestselling author
