Tem, Steve Rasnic

Tem has won just about every major speculative fiction prize (including a 2015 Bram Stoker Award for Blood Kin), but he has slipped through the cracks because his work doesn’t fit neatly into established genre boxes. Library workers can make up for this oversight by confidently suggesting this collection to fans of creepy, weird fiction by the likes of Carmen Maria Machado and John Langan.

Though not to everyone's taste, this volume should appeal to the author's followers as well as to fans of experimental and nonlinear fiction.
