“A vivid, haunting mix of horror and fantasy woven together
through a complex fugue of short stories” from the award-winning
author of Kissing Carrion (Entertainment Weekly). One of
Canada’s most acclaimed horror writers, Gemma Files presents a
mosaic of interconnected stories about interconnected families.
After fleeing Scotland, five clans settled in the fictional town of
Dourvale in northern Ontario. Known as the Five-Family Coven, they
are the descendants of witches and witch-children, none of whom
were spared persecution in their native country. Now shamans,
spellcasters, singers, and thieves, the members of the Devize,
Druir, Glouwer, Roke, and Rusk families survive by trading their
occult powers and talents—though few can really afford their
price . . . “What makes We Will All Go Down
Together so riveting isn’t its ideas or imagery, as richly
atmospheric and detailed as they are. It’s the author’s voice.
Colorful, powerful, and charismatic, her characters are rendered in
bold strokes and poignant nuances. . . . Her book
is a short-story collection, true, but it also works as a dark,
fractured mosaic of a novel. Across continents and centuries, the
ghost-magic of Dourvale still cuts and pastes the fabric of
reality. With her ghostly, magical storytelling, Files does the
same.” —NPR.org Praise for Gemma Files “Gemma
Files’s stories are always so smart and humane, and overwhelm the
reader with a true sense of wonder, awe, and horror. She is, simply
put, one of the most powerful and unique voices in weird fiction
today.” —Paul Tremblay, award-winning author of A Head Full of
Ghosts “One of the genre’s most original and innovative
voices.” —Los Angeles Review of Books
