Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke and Other Misfortunes

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 backyard, only to be drawn into an ever more dangerous game. Three devastating, beatifully written horror stories from one of the genre’s most cutting-edge voices.

Eric LaRocca (he/they) is the author of several works of horror and dark fiction, including the viral sensation Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke.
