Malcolm Devlin’s You Will Grow Into Them is a collection of
immaculately written tales that deftly mix darkness with a playful
imagination. The results are stories that are as entertaining and
humane as they are deeply unsettling. We need more stories in the
world like these. Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts
Devlin’s collection, like Andrew Michael Hurley’s The Loney
before it, is set to become one of the decade’s landmarks of
English weird. Nina Allan, author of The Race and The Rift This
debut collection of stories by Malcolm Devlin is one of the best
I’ve read in years. By turns subtle, tender and brutal, and full
of the sort of beauty one only finds in the hear’s darkest
corner, You Will Grow Into Them made me both jealous and grateful.
Stories like this are exactly why I love to read. Nathan
Ballingrud, author of North American Lake Monsters You Will Grow
Into Them is filled with stories that are deceptively simple and
perilously elegant. They look like fairy tales, but aren’t really
– In fact they are best described as a precise alchemy of
language. Perfectly pitched, thoroughly disquieting, You Will Grow
Into Them is like a light in the darkness that might lead you home
or lure you from the path. Malcolm Devlin is one of our finest
voices. Angela Slatter, World Fantasy Award-winning author of The
Bitterwood Bible & Other Recountings The world is a far
stranger place than we give it credit for. There, in the things we
think familiar, safe, are certain aspects. Our fears and desires
given form. Moments that defy explanation. Shadows in our home. In
Malcolm Devlin’s debut collection, change is the only constant.
Across nine stories he tackles the unease of transformation, growth
and change in a world where horror seeps from the mundane.
Childhood anxieties manifest as debased and degraded
doppelgängers, fungal blooms are harvested from the backs of
dancers and lycanthropes become the new social pariahs. The demons
we carry inside us are very real indeed, but You Will Grow Into
Them. Taking weird fiction and horror and bending them into strange
and wondrous new shapes, You Will Grow Into Them follows in the
grand tradition of Aickman, Ligotti and Vandermeer, reminding us
that the mundane world is a much stranger place than it seems.
