"Am I walking toward something I should be running away from?" - Shirley Jackson


A woman returns home to revisit an encounter with the numinous; couples take up residence in houses full of sinister secrets; a man fleeing a failed marriage discovers something ancient and unknowable in rural Ireland . . .


In her introduction, Lisa Tuttle observes that "certain places are doomed, dangerous in some inexplicable, metaphysical way", and the characters in these stories all seem drawn in their own ways to just such places, whether trying to return home or endeavouring to get as far from life as possible. These nine stories by Shirley Jackson Award winner Lynda E. Rucker tell tales of those lost and searching, often for something they cannot name, and encountering along the way the uncanny embedded in the everyday world.

Industry Reviews

"Indirection is a special skill and it's one that Rucker uses frequently to emphasize those near indefinable moments of social alienation and paranoia, that you just want to get up and run far, far away from." - Adam Nevill, The Quietus


"Sure to be loved by anyone who appreciates intelligent and well-written spectral stories." - Black Static

 

"Many of the finest tales in this book are about the intersection between fiction and reality and the darkness to be found there." - James Everington


"Lynda is the genuine article - a serious, literary author of 'quiet horror' whose work is disquieting, inspiring, and oddly reassuring. It's good to know that there are writers so gifted working in our genre." - Supernatural Tales


"Shirley Jackson Award-winner Lynda E. Rucker is a regular contributor to magazines and anthologies in the dark fiction area. Her second collection, You'll Know When You Get There, features nine stories (two of which are original to this volume), and confirms her great ability to subtly unsettle the reader by creating disquieting atmospheres no matter what the geographic setting of her work." - Hellnotes


"Just when the reader thinks they have a handle on Rucker or that the next story couldn't possibly be as good as the last, the author shifts her game plan, explores pet motifs from a new angle and with refreshed energy . . . " - Dead Reckonings
