Clay McLeod Chapman will publish Acquired Taste on September 9 via Titan Books.
The 304-page collection features 25 chilling short stories from the author hailed by Jordan Peele as “one of my favorite horror storytellers working today.”
The publisher recommends the book for fans of Paul Tremblay, Rachel Harrison, and Eric LaRocca. Here’s the official synopsis:
“A father returns from serving in Vietnam with a strange and terrifying addiction; a man removes something horrifying from his fireplace, and becomes desperate to return it; and a right-wing news channel has its hooks in people in more ways than one.
“From department store Santas to ghost boyfriends and salamander-worshipping nuns; from the claustrophobia of the Covid-19 pandemic to small-town Chesapeake USA, Clay McLeod Chapman takes universal fears of parenthood, addiction and political divisions and makes them uniquely his own.
“Packed full of humanity, humor and above all, relentless creeping dread, Acquired Taste is a timely descent into the mind of one of modern horror’s finest authors.”
Chapman’s previous work includes Ghost Eaters, Whisper Down the Lane, and Wake Up and Open Your Eyes, which was released in January. He also co-authored the middle grade novel Wendell and Wild with The Nightmare Before Christmas director Henry Selick, who turned it into a stop-motion feature for Netflix.
