Contents include four-time Bram Stoker Award and two-time Shirley Jackson Award winner Stephen Graham Jones's eerie take on the alien abduction story; six-time World Fantasy Award winner Jeffrey Ford's exploration of a writer who loses control of his characters; Shirley Jackson Award winner and co-creator of the award winning TV series The Act; Nick Antosca's novelette about the hidden horrors of wine country; British Fantasy Award Winner Kristine Ong Muslim's exploration of environmental horror in the Philippines; Wonderland Book Award winner Gabino Iglesias's folk tale with a sharp edge; NEA winning Dine writer Natanya Ann Pulley's rethinking of SF horror for an indigenous perspective; Hungarian writer Attila Veres's dark take on the not-so-hidden sociopathy of multi-level marketing; New York Times Editor's Pick Erika T. Wurth's exploration of the dark gaps leading to other worlds; an excerpt of a new novel by National Book Award finalist Brandon Hobson, and more. Compiled by guest editor Brian Evenson, McSweeney's Issue 71, as always, features the very best in new literary fiction, in a unique and beautifully designed format, that will occupy a cherished spot on your bookshelves for years to come. 'A key barometer of the literary climate.' -The New York Times 'An enduring literary presence.' -Chicago Tribune 'Ever shape-shifting and ambitious, McSweeney's has redefined what a literary institution can be. Their commitment to publishing strong, strange voices and stories from the periphery has always been an inspiration and I'm always excited to see what they'll do next.' - Catherine Lacey, McSweeney's contributor and author of Pew Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

Our first-ever issue-length foray into horror, and featuring one of our biggest lineups in some time, our seventy-first issue is one for the ages. Guest edited by Brian Evenson, McSweeney's 71: The Monstrous and the Terrible is a hair-raising collection of fiction that will challenge the notion of what horror has been, and suggest what twenty-first-century horror is and can be. And it's all packaged in a mind-bending, nesting-doll-like series of interlocking slipcases that must be seen to be believed.
There's Stephen Graham Jones's eerie take on the alien abduction story, Mariana Enríquez's haunting tale of childhood hijinks gone awry, and Jeffrey Ford on a writer who loses control of his characters. Nick Antosca (cocreator of the award-winning TV series The Act) spins out a novelette about the hidden horrors of wine country. There's Kristine Ong Muslim exploring environmental horror in the Philippines; a sharp-edged folk tale by Gabino Iglesias, and Diné writer Natanya Ann Pulley reimagining sci-fi horror from an indigenous perspective. Hungarian writer Attila Veres proffers a dark take on the not-so-hidden sociopathy of multi-level marketing. And Erika T. Wurth explores the dark gaps leading to other worlds. If that weren't enough: an excerpt from a new novel by Brandon Hobson; a chilling allegorical horror story by Senaa Ahmad; a Lovecraftian bildungsroman by Lincoln Michel; unsettling dream cities from Nick Mamatas; M. T. Anderson's exceptionally weird take on babysitting; and, improbably, much more.
