Winner of the World Fantasy Award, and the Alberta Literary Award Finalist for the Locus, Aurora, British Fantasy, Ignyte, and British Science Fiction Awards Here there be gods and monsters - forged from flesh and stone and vengeance - emerging from the icy abyss of deep space, ascending from dark oceans, and prowling strange cities to enter worlds of chaos and wonder, where scientific rigor and human endeavour is tested to the limits. These are cosmic realms and watery domains where old offerings no longer appease the ancient Gods or the new and hungry idols. Deities and beasts. Life and death. Love and hate. Science and magic. And smiling monsters in human skin. Premee Mohamed's debut collection of contemporary cosmic horror and dark fantasy heralds the arrival of a new and vibrant voice on the cutting edge of modern speculative fiction.

レビュー
-
Horror is not always my thing but this collection of stories were great! It was all very fascinating as I tried to figure out the horror.
-
A grand anthology, some real gems. A fine turn of phrase, lyrical words. Stories that blur horror, fantasy and science fiction and do not disappoint.
-
I found the stories in No One Will Come Back for Us to get more engaging the further I read. I especially enjoyed "Willing" and "Quietus" for keeping me on edge and leaving me slightly unsettled. I look forward to reading more!
-
I absolutely adore this collection of spooky 👻 stories. I love how they get progressively more detailed and transparent with the mysterious aspects. Fantastic work. I also loved the male named female leads.
-
Wow. I bought this book because the cover looked cool. I couldn't stop reading it because each of the stories were their own little mixture of strange and creepy and fascinating. Absolutely fantastic.
