Greener Pastures

Greener Pastures

<b> *Shirley Jackson Award Nominee, Single-Author Collection*<br />*Shortlisted for the Crawford Award*</b><br /><br />In his striking debut collection, <i>Greener Pastures</i>, Michael Wehunt shows why he is a powerful new voice in horror and literary weird fiction.<br /><br />From the round-robin, found-footage nightmare of "October Film Haunt: Under the House" (selected for <i>The Year's Best Dark Fantasy & Horror</i>) to the jazz-soaked "The Devil Under the Maison Blue" (selected for both <i>The Year's Best Dark Fantasy & Horror</i> and <i>Year's Best Weird Fiction</i>), these beautifully crafted, emotionally resonant stories speak of the unknown encroaching upon the familiar, the inscrutable power of grief and desire, and the thinness between all our layers. Where nature rubs against small towns, in mountains and woods and bedrooms, here is strangeness seen through a poet's eye.<br /><br />They say there are always greener pastures. These stories consider the cost of that promise.
