Out of Body
Stories

Narrated by the author!"Chris Vanjonack's Out of Body is its own singularity. A dazzling collection where characters aren’t bound to a single story, let alone a single universe. Teeming with haunts and heartbreak, this book will leave you breathless." — Gus Moreno, author of This Thing Between UsA wildly inventive collection of interconnected speculative stories—spanning the multiverse, demonic attachment, and life after death—from an electrifying new voice in fiction.An aimless ghost haunts his ex-girlfriend for evidence that she’s actually upset about his death.A group of teens discovers a machine that purports to predict the best day of its users’ lives.A young woman is horrified to discover that an aggressive stranger she met on a night of bar-hopping now manifests in every photo that is taken of her.A drunken posse descends into the woods in search of clowns that have been terrorizing their small town.Chris Vanjonack’s fiction is haunted not only by specters of death, but by the elusive questions of life, and above all, the wonder and horror of the infinite. Uncanny, surreal, and infectiously clever, the stories in this linked collection contain horrors great and small, fueled as much by the fantastic as by longing, dread, and all-too-human frailties.Morbidly funny and brilliantly observed, Out of Body is an atmospheric, dead original feast for the senses.
