Guest edited by Brian Evenson, \u003ci\u003eMcSweeney's 71:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Monstrous and the Terribl\u003c\/i\u003ee 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.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThere'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 \u003ci\u003eThe Act\u003c\/i\u003e) spins out a novelette about the hidden horrors of wine country. There's Kristine OngMuslim 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.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"McSweeney's","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":53391601729809,"sku":"9781952119644","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/6890\/3185\/files\/cover_f72a390d-e23b-45de-a903-6dd9729b98f3.jpeg?v=1776867042","url":"https:\/\/www.stablebookgroup.com\/products\/mcsweeneys-issue-71-mcsweeneys-quarterly-concern","provider":"Stable Book Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
