Praise for this book
"Eclectic and eerie, fantastical and fearsome, this collection is unlike anything else you've ever read. Traps and Specters is sure to be one of the standout books of 2026." - Gwendolyn Kiste
"Philip Fracassi may well be the hardest-working man in horror fiction...the pieces in here pack every bit as powerful a punch as his novels. Fasten your seatbelts, keep your hands inside at all times, and prepare yourself for the ride." - John Langan
"From subtle horror / science fiction hybrids, to stories that reveal the horrors behind the purchasing of a new mattress, and references to the Gordon Riots and visions of William Blake, Traps and Specters is an impressively literate and wildly imaginative collection featuring a truly remarkable range of work. As an author who's been around for awhile, I'm tempted to call Philip Fracassi an up-and-coming talent. But he's not up-and-coming. He's already here. And he's a hell of a writer." - Bentley Little
