Greener Pastures
Greener Pastures | Michael Wehunt
13 posts | 10 read | 10 to read
In his striking debut collection, "Greener Pastures," Michael Wehunt shows why he is a powerful new voice in horror and weird fiction. From the round-robin, found-footage nightmare of "October Film Haunt: "Under the House"" to the jazz-soaked "The Devil Under the Maison Blue," selected for both "The Year's Best Dark Fantasy & Horror" and "Year's Best Weird Fiction," these beautifully crafted, emotionally resonant stories speak of the unknown encroaching upon the familiar, the inscrutable power of grief and desire, and the thinness between all our layers. Where nature rubs against small towns, in mountains and woods and bedrooms, here is strangeness seen through a poet's eye. They say there are always greener pastures. These stories consider the cost of that promise.

Hands down one of the best collections of creepy short stories I've ever read. So weird and unique.

rretzler Those are some excellent books! I haven‘t read all of them but if the ones I haven‘t read are as good as the ones I have, I‘d say that‘s a stack of 5⭐️ reads! 6y

Elma @rretzler Thank you! I've actually only read half of them, but those were all excellent. 6y

I am really enjoying my second #nocturnalreaders book - it is certainly making up for The Wicked.

This one had some good stories, though they didn't creep me our as much as I had hoped. I really liked "The Devil Under the Maison Blue" and "October Film Haunt: Under the House." Definitely a collection that makes you think about what horror is.

Now that we're finally breaking our 100-degree weather here, I'm considering it fall, so it's time to double up on the horror reads. I've been picking up shorter function lately, like this short story collection by Michael Wehunt. His collection is fantastic so far! The stories I've read have gone from unsettling to weird to absolutely creepy. There are only a few stories left so I plan to finish it today. 😄

CoffeeCatsBooks Glad you're enjoying it. I've fallen a bit behind on my Nocturnal Box books and a short read would be good. 7y
BekahB @CoffeeCatsBooks I'm behind too. I think I have 4 NRB books to read and I don't even want to count how many BOTM books I still have to get to. 7y

Here is a collection of weird and beautiful fiction. If you're drawn to literary horror, as I am these days, Michael Wehunt's GREENER PASTURES should be top of your list. Outstanding prose threading through a series of tales that reveal only a modicum of their mystery. Can't recommend enough.

From the first paragraph of Greener Pastures, and it really sets the mood for the rest of the book. Super creepy and unsettling, just what I was looking for!

A solemn, beautiful collection of weird.

theandydavidson I haven't. I've read HEADFUL OF GHOSTS and have started DISAPPEARANCE AT DEVIL'S ROCK. Is it good? 7y

Pretty awesome collection. If I had one complaint, it would be that several stories ended very similarly. I enjoyed the author's notes at the end, and several stories will definitely stick with me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5

bitterbear I just started this.. creepy. I was drawn in by the cover art. 8y
Nuwanda @bitterbear Enjoy! It's a good one! 8y
