Synopsis

"Abnormal Statistics takes us on a desolate walking tour of the everyday American nightmare. Come see what’s happening behind the closed doors and shuttered windows of your neighbors, your best friends, the people you trust most. Bleak and bloody horror that’s as raw and immediate as a pile of yellowed teeth, roots and all."—​Trevor Henderson, creator of Siren Head
"A tightly written and devastating collection. Abnormal Statistics grabs the reader by the throat with each tale, from the stellar opener 'Indiana Death Song' to the harrowing 'Video Nasties.' Throughout the collection, Booth performs a sort of emotional autopsy that's impossible to look away from, even as we're handed our own viscera to hold. Horror, sorrow, fury and dark humor are woven throughout with an expert hand, and by the end, it hurt more of my feelings than I ever knew I possessed." —​Laurel Hightower, author of Crossroads and Below
Suburban decay, familial horror, bleak lullabies. Abnormal Statistics is the debut story collection from Max Booth III. Bad times are waiting for you. Featuring 10 reprints and 3 stories original to this collection (including a brand-new novella called "Indiana Death Song").

Goodreads review by Benoit on March 07, 2023

Whew. If your childhood was anything, but a neon-coloured rerun of DeGrassi airing on a streaming service no one cared about, this is going to make some old wounds start bleeding again. This is very much a short story collection, but the opener Indiana Death Song takes up one third of its length. A......more

Goodreads review by Shannon on December 21, 2022

4/5 Abnormal Statistics is an unsurprisingly fiendish, yet surprisingly warm approach to what could be considered a 267 page therapy session. Told in a collection of stories, the author explores elements of his own childhood and adolescence, threading truth with fiction, and holding a mirror up to the......more
