We Are Still Here: Stories & A Novella
We Are Still Here: Stories & A Novella | Emily Koon
2 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
We Are Still Here contains an eclectic mix of stories and fairy tales in which readers encounter ghosts, UPS drivers, Lizzie Borden, and goblins. In the title story, a family visiting an amusement park flees after a fatal roller coaster accident, only to find the real horror is on the chairlifts. In "The People Who Live in the Sears," people who find the world too painful to live in make new lives in their local Sears department store. In "The Ghosts of St. Louis," two teenagers living in a futuristic North America attempt to find their place in a dying world. Battling domestic intruders, climate change and the dark places within themselves, the characters in these stories are holding on for dear life to their homes, their sanity, and the strange landscapes of space, time, and memory they inhabit.

I am honestly surprised this book and author have not gotten more attention. These stories are weird! Not surreal exactly, but they all have some kind of flip that is clever and unusual, and good. And they are SHORT stories—the novella is closer to what I usually think of as a short story. And that novella? It‘s a Lizzie Borden choose-your-own adventure. #shortstories #librarythingearlyreviewers

An interesting collection of short stories! Emily Koon has put together stories that catch the reader by surprise- ghosts, murder, apocalyptic scenarios. The story named in the title of this collection is a favorite. “We Are Still Here” is a spooky tale of a family that never leaves an amusement park. Also Koon‘s take on the Litzy Borden story is written with a unique structure. #arc #librarything #earlyreviewer #coniumpress #smallpress
