Five harrowing, all-new novellas overflowing with horror, imagination, and moving portrayals of humanity-from the bestselling author of BIRD BOX.

Josh Malerman is a master weaver of stories-and in this spine-chilling collection he spins five twisted tales from the shadows of the human soul: A sister tells her little brother that HALF THE HOUSE IS HAUNTED with a presence that only she can see, but is it her own mind that is haunted? In ARGYLE a dying man confesses to crimes he never committed, and reveals long-kept secrets far more sinister than murder. A tourist takes the ultimate trip to outer space in JUPITER DROP but the real journey is into his own dark past. In DOUG AND JUDY BUY THE WASHER, a trendy married couple buys the latest home gadget only to find themselves trapped by the out-of-control machine... and each other. And in EGOROV, a set of Russian triplets is devastated when one of the brothers is murdered; but will vengeance heal their pain? **** PRAISE FOR JOSH MALERMAN: 'Brilliant, insanely compelling' DAILY MAIL 'Fast-paced, frightening' NEW YORK TIMES 'Must-read horror.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 'One of the best horror stories published for years' EXPRESS 'Brilliant ... Malerman has a knack for ratcheting up the tension with just a word or two' METRO 'Daring readers should find this tale of a malevolent telepathic pig to be a memorable experience' BOOKLIST

Burn After Reading

Audaciously imagined. Slyly executed. Surprisingly tender. Deliciously weird' RACHEL YODER, author of NIGHTBITCH 'Get your boarding pass out and get ready for some turbulence. Sky Daddy is insane' GARY SHTEYNGART, author of OUR COUNTRY FRIENDS 'This book is a dog whistle for the true freaks - never have I felt so seen!

Do not miss this flight' HENRY HOKE, author of OPEN THROAT Linda makes $20 an hour as a content moderator, flagging comments that violate a tech conglomerate's terms and conditions. Each night, she returns to the windowless room in a garage that she rents from a family who pretend she isn't there. But once a month, she escapes to San Francisco International Airport for a clandestine meeting on the cheapest flight out that night. Linda's secret is that she's sexually attracted to planes: their intelligent windscreens, sleek fuselages and powerful engines make her feel a way that no human lover ever could. Linda believes her destiny is to someday 'marry' one of her suitors by dying in a plane crash, a catastrophic event that would unite her with her soulmate plane for eternity. So when her co-worker Karina invites her to join a group of women using vision boards to manifest their desires, she can't resist the chance to hasten her romantic fate. However, as the vision boards seem to manifest items more quickly - and more literally - than Linda had expected, the carefully balanced elements of her life begin to spin out of her control, and she must choose between maintaining the trappings of normalcy or launching herself headlong towards her greatest dream.
