The Trees Grew Because I Bled There: Collected Stories

Eight stories of literary dark fiction from a master storyteller.
Exploring the shadow side of love, these are tales of grief,
obsession, control. Intricate examinations of trauma and tragedy in
raw, poetic prose. In these narratives, a woman imagines horrific
scenarios whilst caring for her infant niece; on-line posts chronicle a
cancer diagnosis; a couple in the park with their small child
encounter a stranger with horrific consequences; a toxic
relationship reaches a terrifying resolution?
Originally published under the title The Strange Thing We Become
and Other Dark Tales, this is a beautifully crafted, devastating short
fiction collection from the Bram Stoker Awards® finalist and author
of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke and Other
Misfortunes.
