Everyday Horrors

Everyday horrors, the unexpected twists encountered during an otherwise normal day. The skewed perspectives, those moments of transformative paranoia when everything appears as it might through a funhouse lens. The dreamlike narratives and rhythms which fracture consensual reality into genre-bending rides. When life becomes unmoored and the prosaic becomes surreal. These are the worlds portrayed in this new collection of 20 stories by Steve Rasnic Tem, winner of the World Fantasy, British Fantasy, Bram Stoker, and the Horror Writer Association's Lifetime Achievement awards."e;Tem's fiction gives you insight into the lives of people who want something they can't have, and it allows you to suffer their failures as though they were your own."e; – Simon Strantzas"e;His work…will haunt your imagination and your heart in equal measure, and it both expands and defines the genre."e; - Weird Fiction Review"e;Steve Rasnic Tem is a school of writing unto himself."e; – Joe R.
