Scott Nicolay 
Ana Kai Tangat 

THESE ARE NOT YOUR GRANDPA’S SUBTLE HORROR STORIES! By turns erudite and brutal, literary and ugly, these tales will keep you up at night."The stories in Scott Nicolay’s excellent debut collection unite a lean, elegant prose style with meticulously-observed characters moving through landscapes rendered with painterly precision. Rooted in but not confined to the body, the terrors Nicolay’s characters confront pay subtle homage to the traditions and practitioners of weird fiction who have gone before, even as his willingness to develop his narratives at length moves them into a territory that is uniquely his own. With this book, Scott Nicolay lays claim to the attention of everyone interested in the future of weird fiction, and his claim is a strong one indeed."—John Langan
