And Her Smile Will Untether the Universe

by Gwendolyn Kiste

Description

In this debut collection, fourteen dark and unsettling tales venture into worlds where fairy-tale beauty conceals monstrous truths and ordinary places—weddings, summer camps, orchards, carnivals, and quiet neighborhoods—are never as safe as they seem. Across stories of vanishing people, haunted friendships, murdered movie stars, poisoned apples, and grotesque family secrets, outsiders and outcasts confront death, rebirth, illusion, and the longing to belong. Blending horror, dark fantasy, and fractured folklore, the collection gives voice to the forgotten and forsaken, revealing that the most dangerous boundaries are often the ones society creates.
