Isolation. Paranoia. Madness.
Fans of Shirley Jackson will devour this debut collection of ten spine-tingling tales that reflect the fragmented and hyper-individualized conditions of a world rotting from the inside out. Psychological disturbances collide with body horror to create a terrifying and unsettlingly familiar sense of imbalance, like teetering at the edge of the void. In these stories, toxic positivity is turned literal, featuring a drink that grants your every desire; a woman attempts to make sense of her husband’s unreliable cultic stories; new motherhood in a man’s world generates dangerous anxieties; and a lonely person quietly comes to terms with the end of everything.
Written in arrestingly blunt prose, Sour Grapes and Other Stories is the perfectly horrific accompaniment to navigating a reality full of broken signifiers, post-truths, and the ever-present feeling of despair. Let the obsession overtake you.
Praise for Sour Grapes and Other Stories
“These stories are guaranteed to get under your skin and keep you up and night.” – Will Soto, The Red Treehouse Podcast
