Overview
Supernatural horror grounded in everyday anxieties in the debut story collection from an award-winning editor.
The Places We Once Called Home grounds supernatural weird horror in the psychological terror of everyday anxieties. A man is haunted by the ghost of his dead mother, which only he can hear and see. A grandfather with dementia believes a demon is eating his memories. A father affected by inherited trauma discovers his own father’s journal and comes to understand the reason why. A woman grieving the loss of her sibling must cope through a fog of grief. The mother of an infant girl suffers from postpartum depression in a haunted house. A man undergoes life-saving surgery only to learn there is another living thing growing inside of him because of it. Two people feel trapped in a loveless relationship, which reaches a tipping point when they visit a family cabin. A man falls in love with a mischievous faerie must go to horrible lengths to prove his devotion. A mother must give of herself to heal her sick daughter. Two women are stuck in a dysfunctional relationship, made all the more disturbing because one of them is not who they say they are. Two coworkers find themselves floating in the ocean, trapped inside a shipping container with a sea creature they can hear but cannot see. Tense and unsettling, The Places We Once Called Home sits comfortably in the uncomfortable.
