Description

In these unsettling stories, a series of uncanny encounters blurs the boundary between the ordinary and the grotesque, drawing readers into worlds where the body, memory, and desire refuse to stay in their proper places. With a high-level sweep across different lives and situations, the collection follows characters as they confront disturbing revelations—often sparked by small, intimate details that grow stranger with every turn. Nettel’s sharp, lyrical prose turns discomfort into insight, exploring themes of identity, vulnerability, and the ways we rationalize what we fear. Darkly imaginative yet emotionally precise, these stories showcase her distinctive ability to make the uncanny feel intimate, as if it were always waiting just beneath the surface.
