In his first collection, Greener Pastures, Michael Wehunt introduced the world to his singular voice--a poetic, resonant force of darkness and unique terrors. He returns with The Inconsolables, a chilling selection of stories sure to brighten this star of literary horror.
Inside, meet masterfully rendered characters who grapple with desires as powerful and personal as the monsters that stalk them from the edges of perception.
A man revisits a childhood game of pretend in "Vampire Fiction."
A found-footage collaboration turns nightmarish in "The Pine Arch Collection," which links to "October Film Haunt: Under the House" from Greener Pastures.
In "An Ending (Ascent)," Wehunt steps beyond horror in a devastating near-future elegy for living and dying in a changing world.
Readers have waited for years to discover which cracks between the everyday and the extraordinary Wehunt would explore next. His latest collection offers ten resounding, haunting, terrifying answers.
The Inconsolables is fully illustrated by acclaimed artist Trevor Henderson.
"Wehunt is the best there is at this. From Greener Pastures, the story, "October Film Haunt: Under The House" ties into ["The Pine Arch Collection" from The Inconsolables] and it doesn't stop there, because as per a recent announcement, a new novel called The October Film Haunt—pitched as Scream meets Hereditary—is coming from St. Martin's Press... I can't wait for Wehunt's debut novel! Maybe we'll get a creepy movie out of this too."

"The book is like a fresh album from a band you love: Same number of tracks, same feel, with plenty of inventiveness to make horror fans jealous as we read about mimes, marriages, message boards and empty churches and say to ourselves, 'I never thought that could be scary.' ...one of the most original writers in contemporary horror, serving up his signature dishes."
--Ginger Nuts of Horror
"He's a true original and a fearless talent, and his book is essential reading for anyone who cares about contemporary developments in horror fiction at its most intelligent and searching."
--Ramsey Campbell‘No other living author writes the weird and the uncanny with the verve and deftness of Michael Wehunt."—Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke
‘The Inconsolables is a seismic literary event in the horror genre, and Michael Wehunt is among our best living writers, full stop.’ — Andy Davidson, author of The Hollow Kind
"Michael Wehunt is one of my favorite, trusted guides navigating stories of grief and loss, sadness and regret. My reader’s heart left standing in Greener Pastures so eager to welcome that unique, familiar voice ushering me toward a new strange path twisting through Wehunt’s garden of eerie, weird, beautiful things—The Inconsolables; what a gift."
