Man, F*ck This House (and Other Disasters)

This all-new expanded edition of the viral sensation Man, F*ck This House includes six brand-new stories by Brian Asman, “a singular voice in horror fiction” (Eric LaRocca).

In the titular "Man, F*ck This House," Sabrina Haskins and her family have just moved into their dream home. At first glance, the house is perfect. But things aren't what they seem. Sabrina is hearing odd noises, seeing strange visions. Their neighbors are odd or absent. And Sabrina's already-fraught relationship with her son is about to be tested in a way no parent could ever imagine. Because while the Haskins family might be the newest owners of this house, they're far from its only residents ...

In "The Hurlyburly," a troubled teen loses his grip on reality after checking out the wrong internet meme ...

In "In the Rushes," a coastal cycling trip turns terrifying for a feuding mother and daughter ...

Malevolent doppelgangers, bizarre murders, ancient evils, Western ghosts, mirror monsters, poisonous playthings, and more populate the pages of this brilliant--and petrifying--collection of stories.
