As someone that writes and tends to flock to anything psychological horror, especially when the source of the horror is human, rather than supernatural, Human Monsters was a day-one, must-read for me. Featuring 35 new stories from writers like Nat Cassidy, Stephen Graham Jones, Emma Alice Johnson, and more, the anthology is a dazzling display of just how much can be found around the corner, in our friends and family, among our usual haunts, the communities and cabals that we routinely call “home.” In Human Monsters, Hartmann and Saywers have curated and edited a pitch-perfect examination of how scary we, as human beings, are, both to ourselves and to others.
