The Dissolution of Small Worlds

Eerie and unnerving events are welcome reads for horror and weird fiction aficionados, and Kurt Fawver’s new collection does not fail to deliver. A group of work-study students grows obsessed with a particular, otherworldly room at the university library. A monster’s mother wants her to assume a traditional life. A mysterious calling haunts an elderly man at a nursing home. And strange and macabre Halloween traditions draw a writer to a remote Pennsylvania town.
