We Are Where the Nightmares Go and Other Stories
We Are Where the Nightmares Go and Other Stories | C. Robert Cargill
7 posts | 3 read | 8 to read
From the critically acclaimed author of Sea of Rust and Queen of the Dark Things comes a hair-raising collection of short fiction that illuminates the strange, humorous, fantastical, and downright diabolical that tantalize and terrorize us: demons, monsters, zombie dinosaurs, and Death itself. In the novella "The Soul Thiefs Son" C. Robert Cargill returns to the terrain of the Queen of the Dark Things to continue the story of Colby Stevens . . . A Triceratops and an Ankylosaurus join forces to survive a zombie apocalypse that may spell extinction for their kind in "Hell Creek" . . . In a grand old building atop a crack in the world, an Iraq War veteran must serve a one-year term as a punisher of the damned condemned to consume the sins of others in the hope that one day he may find peace in "In a Clean, White Room" (co-authored with Scott Derrickson) . . . In "The Town That Wasnt Anymore," the village of Pine Hill Bluff loses its inhabitants one at a time as the angry dead return when night falls to steal the souls of the living . . . And in the title story, "We Are Where the Nightmares Go," a little girl crawls through a glowing door beneath her bed and finds herself trapped in a nightmarish wonderlanda crucible of the fragments of childrens bad dreams. These tales and four more are assembled here as testament to Cargills mastery of the phantasmagoric, making We Are Where the Nightmares Go and Other Stories a collection of unnerving horror and fantasy will keep you up all night and haunt your waking dreams.

I have a buildup of Litsy posts from the past weeks, one of which is from when I was at Tattered Cover on Colfax (where I couldn‘t tear myself away from their unique horror section). Tagged was staff recommended so I read the shortest story in a plushy armchair. It was so vile, gory, violent, & visceral. I was horrified. And then I got to the end & I was sitting there w/tears on my face. Horror can be so beautifully surprising.

vivastory This has been lingering on my TBR for awhile & your post made me place a hold for it at the library. Looking forward to it & I completely agree with your sentiment! I'm really looking forward to the adaptation of Joe Hill's Black Phone w/ a screenplay by Cargill. 2y
Reggie I bought the same book when I was there this past year. Book twins. Lol 2y

Diving into this audiobook. The first story was great and the narration is wonderful. The second story is that if the title and that‘s just started. Great scary read for the season.

Here‘s a review from NPR : https://www.npr.org/2018/06/17/617310638/where-the-nightmares-go-maps-the-territ...
