Vigilante Man leads a double life as both superhero and ace accountant in "My Hero." A couple in "Little Monsters" makes compromise after compromise as they design a nightmare creature to unleash on the world. One husband writes to Dear Abby about his wife of thirty-eight years, wondering whether to tell her she transforms into a wolf each night. He signs his letter "Old Meat." Summer camp survivors deal with generational trauma in "I Was a Teenage Slasher Victim." These stories represent just a few of the more than twenty tales Stephen Graham Jones has crafted with experimental glee. The New York Times bestselling horror author delivers an astonishing assortment of mutated manuscripts that dive deep into his delightfully twisted mind.
