Unfortunates

In this collection of brutal, unsettling horror stories, a sadistic blogger gleefully chronicles the murders of Hollywood celebrities, turning violence into content and death into spectacle. A journalist goes undercover inside a sex club for the physically impaired, only to discover that the line between observer and participant is thinner than he imagined. A man on the brink of fatherhood is seduced by a water spirit whose questions about legacy, masculinity, and responsibility threaten to dismantle everything he believes he can offer a child. And a primary school teacher faces his most nightmarish classroom yet: a swarm of undead children who refuse to stay quiet, seated, or buried. Now expanded with two brand-new stories, Unfortunates drags ordinary people into situations where their worst instincts are no longer hypothetical—and where every compromise leaves a stain. These are stories about the horrors we cultivate, justify, and livestream. Because the most frightening worlds are the ones that look exactly like our own, and the monsters are already inside.
