Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke & Other Misfortunes

Product Description

“Some horror walks you down a dark corridor, where there’s whispers and laughter, sobs and screams. Other horror starts down at the end of that corridor, where there’s a door that opens on to you don’t know what. Read this, and then decide where Eric LaRocca has left you. Not that it matters. There’s no way out.”

STEPHEN GRAHAM JONES, author of My Heart is a Chainsaw

A whirlpool of darkness churns at the heart of a macabre ballet between two lonely young women in an internet chat room in the early 2000s—a darkness that threatens to forever transform them once they finally succumb to their most horrific desires.

A couple isolate themselves on a remote island in an attempt to recover from their teenage son’s death, when a mysterious young man knocks on their door during a storm…

And a man confronts his neighbor when he discovers a strange object in his back yard, only to be drawn into an ever-more dangerous game.

Three devastating, beautifully written horror stories from one of the genre’s most cutting-edge voices.

What have you done today to deserve your eyes?

“A startling affair… I’ll be cleaning up particles of darkness in my office for weeks.”

JOSH MALERMAN, author of Bird Box and Malorie

“Bleak, clever, edgy, and vicious. Eric LaRocca draws his readers in for something they will never expect and never forget.”
