In this all-ages collection award-winning horror author Steve Rasnic Tem showcases a variety of ghosts and other creatures eager to keep you up all night with the lights on. Read about the two best friends chased by a strangely familiar figure. Or the teenager who woke up one morning with fur sprouting from every nook and cranny on his body. Or the fellow from a poor family who has to take care of both his little sister and his crazy mom whose magical powers only make things worse. Or an old man who finally tells his grandson the terrible thing that makes their crops grow. Or the mechanic who keeps his cars running on oil, gasoline, blood, and broken bones. The stories in Everything Is Fine Now range from subtle supernatural tales to the tall tales typically heard around a campfire.Stories included in this collection:The Woman in the AtticThe Hideaway ManMechanicLittle OneJake's BodyVoices in the DarkThe Man Under the BridgeDaddy's An ActorDomestic MagicThe HuntSirensShow NightDoes It Scare You?SkullbeesThe SnowmanThe FarmerAlan's MotherBad Dogs Come Out of the RainBe MineCreation StoryLesser FiresDaddyTygerThere's No Such Thing as MonstersThe Boyfrienda spine-tingling but compellingly honest portrait of how horror can turn into a whole-life experience: as subject matter to spark inspiration for an author, as lived experience for those of us just trying to get by, and as entertainment, too. – John C.
