"Like modern Grimm fairy tales, the stories in this volume are cautionary and haunting." --Kirkus Reviews, s tarred review "Percy's haunting, well-crafted prose frequently elevates the mundanity and isolation of being human into something otherworldly in his genre-bending collection [ Suicide Woods ]. . . . This gripping, often unnerving collection showcases Percy's talent as a skilled, versatile storyteller." -- Publishers Weekly " Suicide Woods deals in a shivery fear, a dreamlike unease, a sense of eldritch hallucinations creeping toward us. I love this book." --Luis Alberto Urrea "Fiction doesn't get more red in tooth and claw than this. Every page drips, every story leaves you bleeding." --Stephen Graham Jones, " Suicide Woods deals in a shivery fear, a dreamlike unease, a sense of eldritch hallucinations creeping toward us. I love this book." --Luis Alberto Urrea "Fiction doesn't get more red in tooth and claw than this. Every page drips, every story leaves you bleeding." --Stephen Graham Jones, "Every story is individual and utterly captivating." -- Newsweek "An addictive mix of gritty crime fiction and otherworldly horror. . . . Percy's prose is exacting, finely tuning the atmospherics that give the collection such an eerie overall feeling. . . . Suicide Woods is a testament to Percy's skill as a writer. He takes no shortcuts in eliciting thrills. The collection is by turns provocative and terrifying." -- Shelf Awareness "Like modern Grimm fairy tales, the stories in this volume are cautionary and haunting." --Kirkus Reviews, s tarred review "Percy's haunting, well-crafted prose frequently elevates the mundanity and isolation of being human into something otherworldly in his genre-bending collection [ Suicide Woods ]. . . . This gripping, often unnerving collection showcases Percy's talent as a skilled, versatile storyteller." -- Publishers Weekly "Percy's stories are atmospheric, concise, and at times terrifying, and he leads readers into unexpected revelations and visceral violence." -- Booklist " Suicide Woods deals in a shivery fear, a dreamlike unease, a sense of eldritch hallucinations creeping toward us. I love this book." --Luis Alberto Urrea "Fiction doesn't get more red in tooth and claw than this. Every page drips, every story leaves you bleeding." --Stephen Graham Jones, "Twisted and thorny and beautiful. . . . A small masterpiece." -- The New York Times Book Review "Some of us crave subtler scares, and as Halloween approaches, [ Suicide Woods ] reminds us that the genre thrives on nuance. . . . This intelligent, entertaining book demonstrates why [Percy has] emerged as one of the more interesting writers working this territory." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Every story is individual and utterly captivating." -- Newsweek "Mesmerizing. . . . Even in Percy's eeriest tales, compassion and wry humor infuse the narratives. Suicide Woods is more Stranger Things than Twilight Zone , closer to King than Kafka, and it's as entertaining as whatever chilling show you're bingeing on Netflix right now." -- Star Tribune (Minneapolis) "Benjamin Percy's new collection, Suicide Woods , is a total nightmare -- in the best way possible. . . . Percy lures readers into a world that is part real, part surreal. . . . This merging of reality and dream states has a powerfully unsettling effect . . . but Percy nestles shimmers of hope in the dark forest . . . . Above all, the language throughout is remarkable: sharp and stinging, yet replete with desolate, hypnagogic beauty." -- Washington Independent Review of Books "[ Suicide Woods ] is a fine reminder of what happens when a writer taps into their penchant for the outright fantastical, and the unsettling stories that can arise as a result." -- Tor Magazine "An addictive mix of gritty crime fiction and otherworldly horror. . . . Percy's prose is exacting, finely tuning the atmospherics that give the collection such an eerie overall feeling. . . . Suicide Woods is a testament to Percy's skill as a writer. He takes no shortcuts in eliciting thrills. The collection is by turns provocative and terrifying." -- Shelf Awareness "The virtue of this collection lies in its super-refined telling, thanks to Percy's efforts to break through the barriers between genre fiction and literature." -- BookPage "Like modern Grimm fairy tales, the stories in this volume are cautionary and haunting." --Kirkus Reviews, s tarred review "Percy's haunting, well-crafted prose frequently elevates the mundanity and isolation of being human into something otherworldly in his genre-bending collection [ Suicide Woods ]. . . .

Synopsis
A spine-tingling new collection of stories from the acclaimed author of Thrill Me and The Dark Net Benjamin Percy is a versatile and propulsive storyteller whose genre-busting novels and story collections have ranged from literary to thriller to postapocalyptic. In his essay collection, Thrill Me , he laid bare for readers how and why he channels disparate influences in his work. Now, in his first story collection since the acclaimed Refresh, Refresh , Percy brings his page-turning skills to bear in Suicide Woods , a potent brew of horror, crime, and weird happenings in the woods. A boy in his uncle's care falls through the ice on a pond and emerges in a frozen, uncanny state. A group of people in therapy for suicidal ideation undergoes a drastic session in the woods with fatal consequences. A body found on a train and a blood-soaked carpet in an empty house are clues to a puzzling crime in a small town. And in a pulse-quickening novella, thrill seekers on a mapping expedition into the "Bermuda Triangle" of remote Alaska are stranded on a sinister island that seems to want them dead. In story after story, which have appeared in magazines ranging from the Virginia Quarterly Review and Orion Magazine to McSweeney's and Ploughshares , Percy delivers haunting and chilling narratives that will have readers hanging on every word. A master class in suspense and horror, Suicide Woods is a dark, inventive collection packed to the gills with eerie, can't-miss tales.
