Chaos and violence lurk in every corner of the world: under the desks in a school classroom, in the gentle breeze on a spring day, between the branches of a Christmas tree, even in the backseat of your car. The universe is a machine of unmaking, and nowhere can you escape its unraveling hands. In Shirley Jackson Award-winning author Kurt Fawver's Everywhere Is a Horror Story, this ubiquity of terror is on full display. From a cannibal cult in a hidden valley and spectral children in the water pipes of a new home to a boardroom meeting for planning the apocalypse and a murderous story in your own hands, Fawver's new collection of chilling, cerebral tales proves that, indeed, everywhere really is a horror story.
