Description

"Amongst the Top 50 Horror Books of All Time" - Cosmopolitan

Three dark and disturbing horror stories from an astonishing new voice, including the viral-sensation tale of obsession, Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke. For fans of Kathe Koja, Clive Barker and Stephen Graham Jones. Winner of the Splatterpunk Award for Best Novella.


A whirlpool of darkness churns at the heart of a macabre ballet between two lonely young women in an internet chat room in the early 2000s—a darkness that threatens to forever transform them once they finally succumb to their most horrific desires. 

A couple isolate themselves on a remote island in an attempt to recover from their teenage son’s death, when a mysterious young man knocks on their door during a storm…

And a man confronts his neighbour when he discovers a strange object in his back yard, only to be drawn into an ever-more dangerous game.

Three devastating, beautifully written horror stories from one of the genre’s most cutting-edge voices.

What have you done today to deserve your eyes?

    Certain parts of this book are truly haunting. I loved how vivid descriptions were. This will probably never be a book I will re-read just because I didn’t particularly enjoy the writing style in general. It’s worth a read, though! I finished the book in 2 days, so it was a pretty fast read. If you’re looking for an unsettling book, this is for you. :)

    I’ve been obsessed with Everything this beautiful soul writes. The horror is the connection to his stories. The emotions of horror at best. I will forever read anything he publishes. Thank you, LaRocca ❤️

    a bit too corny in some parts for my liking, but an overall great read!
