A spine-tingling new collection of stories from the acclaimed author of <i><b>Thrill Me</i></b> and <i><b>The Dark Net
</i></b></b>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, <i><b>Thrill Me</i></b>, he laid bare for readers how and why he channels disparate influences in his work. Now, in his first story collection since the acclaimed <i><b>Refresh, Refresh</i></b>, Percy brings his page-turning skills to bear in <i><b>Suicide Woods</i></b>, 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 <i><b>Virginia Quarterly Review</i></b> and <i><b>Orion Magazine</i></b> to <i><b>McSweeney’s</i></b> and <i><b>Ploughshares</i></b>, Percy delivers haunting and chilling narratives that will have readers hanging on every word. A master class in suspense and horror, <i><b>Suicide Woods</i></b> is a dark, inventive collection packed to the gills with eerie, can’t-miss tales.<i><b>
