Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "A startlingly bright collection of sparse and spooky ecological horror stories" -Library JournalIn these fifteen stories of ecological horror and dark fantasy, Farrenkopf delves into the depths of environmental decay and cursed ecosystems, searching ancient forests for elder gods and swimming the oceans with nameless things that live in the deep.In "Mother's Wolves" an academic searches for her disappeared mother under the guise of a gray wolf rehabilitation study in the backwoods of Maine. In "We've Been in Enough Places to Know" and "Waterlogged," an underemployed property manager on Cape Cod traverses the crumbling halls of a seaside luxury condominium as something aquatic sings to him from the flooded basement. "To Tend a Grove" is the story of an eccentric millionaire's desire to rewild a golf course in the name of an ancient forest deity and the landscaper trapped in his verdant machinations. In "Translations for a Dead Sea" a down on her luck graphic designer retreats to her deceased father's bayside cabin in order to translate a long-lost poem that will either save the world from environmental collapse or speed up the apocalypse. In "The Tap, Tap, Tap of a Beak" a heartbroken ornithologist must make a pilgrimage to the mountain of bones that is the final resting place for endangered species, but a shady bone collector has other plans for the deceased woodpecker she carries with her.In these stories, three published here for the first time, we encounter ethical werewolf rearing, murderous tree cults, Weird insectile evolutions, seaside folk horror, corrupt environmental tourism, gothic forest wanderings, eternal plastic pollution, sea-bound cosmic horror, hostile swamp creatures, and the ever creeping threat of climate change. Crack the spine. Step into the trees. Wade into the water. You will always be welcome in these haunted ecologies."Haunted Ecologies is a collection written in a classic and melancholic voice, filled with a blend of cli-fi and academia that follows enduring families, illuminating collapsing economics and ecosystems, presenting readers with nature metaphors that symbolize the change, turbulence, and turmoil in human lives. At the core theme of these interconnected short stories is the criticism of corporate corruption, wasting landscapes that offer daunting and prophetic futures, continuing memories, things lost and changed through translation, yet it also offers hope, even with the looming end of the world." -Ai Jiang, Bram Stoker and Nebula award-winning author of Linghun Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "The effortless world building, buoyed by Dave's confident narration, immediately immerses readers in the intense unease, carrying them to its emotional conclusion. A character-centered and thought provoking tale that is as much about embracing life as it is about death, this title will appeal to fans of Elizabeth McCracken and Neil Gaiman" -Booklist Dave Gallagher mows the lawns and digs the graves at cemeteries in his hometown on Cape Cod. He also keeps the peace between the ghosts inhabiting those cemeteries. In the world of Living in Cemeteries, wrongdoing is atoned for by a person's descendants. Spirits decapitate relatives of serial killers and lay pox blankets over men responsible for the Trail of Tears. The only way Dave can learn of his pre-ordained death is by traveling the New England countryside, visiting haunted cemeteries, asking familial ghosts what fate has in store. A gruesome death, or a happily-ever-after with his longtime girlfriend, Jessica? Marauding Spirit-whipped bulls and deadly nightshade, a doomed roommate and a wayward crypt-sleeper each derail Dave's path to understanding, but nothing presents more of a challenge than his silent, long dead father. The man's refusal to speak leaves Dave wondering what evils his parents committed. How dark is the shade cast by his family tree? The only way to find out is to speak to the dead, but Dave's not always going to like the answers he receives. "Does friendship/love or ghostly determinism rule the day? The spirits are alive on Cape Cod in Corey Farrenkopf's Living in Cemeteries. A strange, beguiling, ghostly romp that reads as though Wes Anderson novelized Peter Jackson's The Frighteners. I'm here for it." -Paul Tremblay, the nationally best-selling author of The Cabin at the End of the World and A Head Full of Ghosts "How Corey Farrenkopf managed to write a novel that's simultaneously bighearted, wise, unnerving, and a wildly hallucinatory exploration of grief and love, I have no idea. But he did it with Living in Cemeteries, and it's fantastic." -Keith Rosson, author of Fever House "In Living in Cemeteries, Farrenkopf takes reality, deftly shakes up its bottle, and adds one fantastical element that changes the whole formula. An enticing and ultimately compassionate debut that uses death as a means to think through the myriad possibilities of life." -Brian Evenson, author of The Glassy, Burning Floor of Hell In Living in Cemeteries, wrongdoing is atoned for by a person's descendants. The only way Dave can learn of his pre-ordained death is by asking family ghosts. How dark is the shade cast by his family tree? He won't like the answer.
