From Little Stack

Sometimes the most intense friendships come from the unlikeliest of places. Agnes never expected to meet anyone in an online forum selling her antique apple peeler. But when Zoe replies the two women quickly start exchanging emails. From there, things get worse. It’s a deadly combination of loneliness and obsession that devolves into absolute madness. When a stranger on the internet asks what you’ve done today to deserve your eyes, you should never ever tell them.

Publisher Description

Three dark and disturbing horror stories from an astonishing new voice, including the viral-sensation tale of obsession, Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke. For fans of Kathe Koja, Clive Barker and Stephen Graham Jones. Winner of the Splatterpunk Award for Best Novella.

A whirlpool of darkness churns at the heart of a macabre ballet between two lonely young women in an internet chat room in the early 2000s—a darkness that threatens to forever transform them once they finally succumb to their most horrific desires.

A couple isolate themselves on a remote island in an attempt to recover from their teenage son's death, when a mysterious young man knocks on their door during a storm…

And a man confronts his neighbour when he discovers a strange object in his back yard, only to be drawn into an ever-more dangerous game.

Three devastating, beautifully written horror stories from one of the genre's most cutting-edge voices.

What have you done today to deserve your eyes?

I’ve always been so enamored with the intrinsic poetry of horror fiction, the deep, nuanced layering of the sublime and the disgusting.
