"Have I not always loved terrible things?" - "The Seventh Wave"

A student's research into an obscure pulp writer takes on increasingly sinister tones; three friends reunite to fight an evil they thought they'd escaped decades earlier; a woman in a seemingly perfect marriage finds herself haunted by the mysterious absences in her memories of their life together.

In her third collection, Lynda E. Rucker reminds us that mystery lurks even in the most banal settings-a British holiday park, a Moldovan tower block, a stretch of industrial wasteland-but as these ten stories reveal, there can also remain a dreadful beauty amidst the horror.

Industry Reviews

"These horrors come from lived experience, brimming with the juices of life and believable characters who are certain to stay with you for a long time. Strongly recommended for lovers of atmospheric, unusual, and slow-burn literary horror." - Rue Morgue

"[Rucker has] a combination of originality, love of the genre, and playful energy that distinguishes a fine writer from the merely competent." - Supernatural Tales

"The long shadow that lies over the ten pieces assembled here is perhaps that of Robert Aickman: they are stories not of overt horror but of deep and abiding disquiet." - Interzone Digital

"In short, 'quiet horror' at its best." - Black Gate

"It's a crime more people aren't reading Lynda Rucker. Her work, subtle and dreadfully understated, combines compelling emotional depth and an in-depth understanding of the weird fiction canon. If you're a reader of unsettling horror, you need to be reading Lynda Rucker." - Ancillary Review of Books
