About We Are All Completely Fine

Product Description World Fantasy Award Winner Shirley Jackson Award Winner Harrison was the Monster Detective, a storybook hero. Now he’s in his mid-thirties and spends most of his time popping pills and not sleeping. Stan became a minor celebrity after being partially eaten by cannibals. Barbara is haunted by unreadable messages carved upon her bones. Greta may or may not be a mass-murdering arsonist. Martin never takes off his sunglasses. Never. No one believes the extent of their horrific tales, not until they are sought out by psychotherapist Dr. Jan Sayer. What happens when these seemingly-insane outcasts form a support group? Together they must discover which monsters they face are within?and which are lurking in plain sight. Review World Fantasy Award Winner Shirley Jackson Award Winner Nebula Award Nominee Theodore Sturgeon Award Nominee Locus Award Nominee Book Riot 100 Must-Read Indie Press Books [STARRED REVIEW] “This complex novel―scathingly funny, horrific yet oddly inspiring―constructs a seductive puzzle from torn identities, focusing on both the value and peril of fear. When enigmatic Dr. Jan Sayer gathers survivors of supernatural violence for therapy, she unwittingly unlocks evil from the prison of consciousness. Harrison, a cynical monster-hunter, wallows in lethargy. Suicidal Barbara burns to read the secret messages inscribed on her bones. Cantankerous Stan is the lone survivor of a cannibal feast. After paranoid Martin sees slithery spirits lingering around volatile Greta, a powerful young woman decorated with mystically charged scars, ancient evils usher the rag-tag survivors to a battle with the Hidden Ones, exiled deities trapped in prisons of flesh. Gregory’s beautiful imagery and metaphors bring bittersweet intimacy and tenderness to the primal wonder of star-lit legends. Isolated people, both victims and victimizers, are ghosts in a waking world, blind to their encounters with living nightmares. Blending the stark realism of pain and isolation with the liberating force of the fantastic, Gregory (Afterparty) makes it easy to believe that the world is an illusion, behind which lurks an alternative truth―dark, degenerate, and sublime.” ―Publishers Weekly “. . . a clever and creepy horror tale . . .” ―Library Journal “Clever, and filled with the creeping dread of what’s in the flickering shadow next to you and what’s just around the corner that suffuses the best horror. I loved it.” ―Ellen Datlow, Bram Stoker, World Fantasy, and International Horror Guild award-winning editor of The Best Horror of the Year series Selected as the Horror After Dark Top Horror Read for 2014 “[Gregory’s] plotting, characterisations, and yes, the writing itself, is all that good. In short, this one completely blew me away. . . .” ―Horror After Dark “Charming and horrifying―you won't be able to stop reading it.” ―Tim Powers, award-winning author of Declare and The Stress of Her Regard “Daryl Gregory's We Are All Completely Fine is bitchin' fun and as wicked and strange as a motorcycle leap through a ring of fire without your pants on. Loved it.” ―Joe R. Lansdale, author of Cold in July and the Hap and Leonard series “Daryl Gregory is a writer I would happily follow into any dark place he wanted me to go. This is a labyrinth of a story, intricate as a spider’s web―and like a spider’s web, each piece informs the whole. Beautiful.” ―Seanan McGuire, author of the October Daye series and Half-Off Ragnarok “A superb, haunting tale by one of our very best writers. Gregory’s characters are already in therapy; you may want to join them after reading this spicy, disturbing mélange.” ―Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of Red Planet Blues “[Gregory] is a truly gifted writer and We Are All Completely Fine is just more evidence to the fact.” ―SFRevu “. . . funny in that dark and sarcastic way only people faced with unstoppable horror can be funny, and when you’re finished you’ll wish there was more.” ―Daytona Bea
