Book Description

What frightens us isn't always what waits in the dark. Angels, Demons, & Other Obstacles brings together thirteen unsettling short stories in which ordinary assumptions become increasingly unreliable. A grieving child bargains with the darkness. A resentful assistant imagines replacing the author she serves. A mother protects a daughter no one else can see. A desperate girl leaps from a cliff. A lonely man calls into the night and receives an answer. Demons wrestle with appetite, history gives way to legend, and reality itself proves disturbingly negotiable. Blending psychological horror, Gothic fiction, supernatural tales, dark comedy, and infernal satire, Julie Kusma explores what happens when belief becomes behavior and fear becomes its own kind of truth. For readers who prefer their darkness thoughtful, strange, and lingering.
