Ray Bradbury meets The Martian in this chilling page-turning tale
of Mars' first colony, fallen to madness after all contact with
Earth ceased, perfect for fans of Jeff VanderMeer. Anabelle Crisp
is fourteen when the Silence arrives, severing all communication
between Earth and her new home on Mars. One evening, while she and
her father are closing the diner they run in the colony of New
Galveston, they are robbed at gunpoint. Among the stolen items is a
recording of her mother's voice, taped on the eve of a trip back to
Earth, just before the Silence descended. Driven by righteous fury
and desperation to lift her father's broken spirits, Anabelle sets
out to confront the thieves and bring back the sole vestige of her
mother. Accompanied by her loyal robotic companion, Watson; an
outcast spaceship pilot named Joe Reilly; and the hardened outlaw
Sally Milkwood, Anabelle must first pass through Dig Town, a
derelict mining community where a mineral called the Strange has
warped the residents in frightening ways, and then brave the
Martian desert. As she nears the shadowy Peabody Crater--the
epicenter of bizarre goings-on in the colonies--Mars is revealed as
a vast haunted house, infested with ghosts, alive with malignant
intent-and New Galveston, once a safe haven, nothing more than a
guttering candle in a dark world.

Nathan Ballingrud's Shirley Jackson Award winning debut collection
is a shattering and luminous experience not to be missed by those
who love to explore the darker parts of the human psyche. Monsters,
real and imagined, external and internal, are the subject. They are
us and we are them and Ballingrud's intense focus makes these
stories incredibly intense and irresistible. These are love
stories. And also monster stories. Sometimes these are monsters in
their traditional guises, sometimes they wear the faces of parents,
lovers, or ourselves. The often working-class people in these
stories are driven to extremes by love. Sometimes, they are ruined;
sometimes redeemed. All are faced with the loneliest corners of
themselves and strive to find an escape. Nathan Ballingrud was born
in Massachusetts but has spent most of his life in the South. He
worked as a bartender in New Orleans and New York City and a cook
on offshore oil rigs. His story "The Monsters of Heaven" won the
inaugural Shirley Jackson Award. He lives in Asheville, North
Carolina, with his daughter.
Previously published as North American Lake Monsters. Monsterland
is a new anthology TV series from Hulu based on Nathan Ballingrud's
striking, bleak, and luminous debut collection, starring Kaitlyn
Dever, Kelly Marie Tran, Jonathan Tucker, and Taylor Schilling, and
more. Ballingrud's Shirley Jackson Award winning collection of
gothic and uncanny stories investigates the loneliest and darkest
corners of contemporary American life. Ballingrud's stories are
love stories. They're also monster stories. Sometimes the monsters
collected here are vampires or werewolves. Sometimes they wear the
faces of parents, lovers, brothers, ex-wives-or the faces we see in
our mirrors. The people in these stories, ex-cons, single parents,
unemployed laborers, kids seduced by extremism, are stranded by
life, driven to desperate acts by love and a longing for
connection. Sometimes they're ruined; sometimes redeemed. They are
always recognizably, wonderfully, terrifyingly human, even at their
most monstrous.

From Ellen Datlow, award-winning and genre-shaping editor of more
than fifty anthologies, and twenty of horror's established masters
and rising stars, comes an all-original look into the beautiful,
terrible, tragic, and terrifying. Wander through visions of the
most terrible of angels, the Seven who would undo the world.
Venture through Hell and back, and lands more terrestrial and
darker still. Linger a while in childhoods, and seasons of change
by turns tragic and monstrously transformative. Lose yourself
amongst the haunted and those who can't let go, in relationships
that might have been and never were. Witness in dreams and
reflections, hungers and horrors, the shadows cast upon the wall,
and linger in forests deep. Come see what burns so bright. . . .
