Description
This haunting collection of short stories explores the darker side of love and human experience. With its raw, poetic prose, Eric LaRocca delves into themes of grief, obsession, control, and trauma.
From the shadowy corners of relationships to the horrors that can unfold in everyday life, these eight tales are a masterclass in literary dark fiction. A woman's imagination runs wild as she cares for her infant niece, while online posts chronicle a cancer diagnosis and a couple's encounter with a stranger has devastating consequences.
Originally published under the title The Strange Thing We Become and Other Dark Tales, this collection is a deeply unsettling and painfully dark exploration of the human condition. Chuck Wendig provides an introduction to LaRocca's work, highlighting the author's skill as a storyteller.
