“It’s the end of the world as we know it . . . and we don’t feel fine at all.”
Why we’re excited about this book:
With his fifth collection, award-winning author Brian Hodge cultivates an assortment of his best stories, all with one thing in common: It’s the end of the world. Author of Nightlife, Deathgrip, I’ll Bring You the Birds From out of the Sky, The Immaculate Void, and many more, Hodge fearlessly takes his readers on strange and horrifying journeys that they soon won’t forget. Peter Straub called Hodge “a writer of spectacularly unflinching gifts”. Skidding Into Oblivion by Brian Hodge releases from ChiZine Publications 19 February 2019 and is available for pre-order now.
