We Will All Go Down Together
Gemma Files
"A vivid, haunting mix of horror and fantasy woven together through a complex fugue of short stories" from the award-winning author of Kissing Carrion (Entertainment Weekly). One of Canada's most acclaimed horror writers, Gemma Files presents a mosaic of interconnected stories about interconnected families. After fleeing Scotland, five clans settled in the fictional town of Dourvale in northern Ontario. Known as the Five-Family Coven, they are the descendants of witches and witch-children, none of whom were spared persecution in their native country. Now shamans, spellcasters, singers, and thieves, the members of the Devize, Druir, Glouwer, Roke, and Rusk families survive by trading their occult powers and talents--though few can really afford their price . . . "What makes We Will All Go Down Together so riveting isn't its ideas or imagery, as richly atmospheric and detailed as they are. It's the author's voice. Colorful, powerful, and charismatic, her characters are rendered in bold strokes and poignant nuances. . . . Her book is a short-story collection, true, but it also works as a dark, fractured mosaic of a novel. Across continents and centuries, the ghost-magic of Dourvale still cuts and pastes the fabric of reality. With her ghostly, magical storytelling, Files does the same." --NPR.org Praise for Gemma Files "Gemma Files's stories are always so smart and humane, and overwhelm the reader with a true sense of wonder, awe, and horror. She is, simply put, one of the most powerful and unique voices in weird fiction today." --Paul Tremblay, award-winning author of A Head Full of Ghosts "One of the genre's most original and innovative voices." --Los Angeles Review of BooksBinding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Gemma FilesPublisher: Open Road Media Science & FantasyPublished: 10/13/2020ISBN: 9781504063920Pages: 430Weight: 1.00lbsSize: 7.90h x 5.20w x 1.20d
