Ugly Little Things: Collected Horrors

THIS IS GOING TO HURT.

The eleven stories in Ugly Little Things explore the depths of human suffering and ugliness, charting a course to the dark, horrific heart of the human condition. The terrors of everyday existence are laid bare in this eerie collection of short fiction from the twisted mind of Todd Keisling, author of the critically-acclaimed novels A Life Transparent and The Liminal Man.

Travel between the highways of America in The Otherland Express, where a tribe of the forsaken and forlorn meet to exchange identities. Witness the cold vacuum of space manifest in the flesh in The Darkness Between Dead Stars. Step into the scrub of rural Arizona and join Karen Singleton's struggle to save her husband from a cult of religious fanatics in When Karen Met Her Mountain. Visit the small town of Dalton in The Harbinger and join Felix Proust as he uncovers the vile secrets rooted at the heart of Dalton Dollworks.

With a foreword by Bram Stoker Award-winner Mercedes M. Yardley and illustrations by Luke Spooner, Ugly Little Things will be your atlas, guiding you along a lonely road of sorrow, loss, and regret. This is going to hurt-and you're going to like it.
