    When an acclaimed novelist purchases the summer estate of her youth on Orcas Island, Washington, she voices three intentions: to provide a respite for her hardworking husband; to preserve the innocence of their precocious thirteen-year-old son; and to renovate a cliffside cabin into the writing retreat of her dreams. But there’s also an unfulfilled promise that has haunted Meredith Lila Gaines since the day she fled the property and the life she knew.

    In midwinter, an aspiring politician finds himself suddenly deprived of human contact.
    Newcomers to a town are strangely reminiscent of people lost in a recent flood.
    Demonstrators on a peace march see the faces of sleeping children in the snow.
    A failed musician meets his own ancestors getting off a midnight train. The Terrible Changes is a journey through the shadow-realm between reality and dream, between clarity and madness, between the living and the dead. In Joel Lane's fiction, the weird is a symbolic language expressing the chilling beauty, sadness and mystery of real life, combining the supernatural with themes of human loss, passion, solitude and despair, in the tradition of Robert Aickman, John Ramsey Campbell, and M. John Harrison.
    From 'The Brand' (1983) to 'Alouette' (2008), these stories span a quarter-century of writing: urban horror tales, elegiac ghost stories, erotic reveries and psychological fugues. Long unavailable, The Terrible Changes is now back in print for a new audience, adding to Joel Lane's legacy as a true master of the weird.

    It's been nine months since the catastrophe in Tucson sent Mia fleeing from her home. But she’s not running away from the darkness—she’s running toward it, obsessively pursuing the man who gave her mother a thirst for blood and destroyed their lives. 
    But when Mia finds the monsters she’s been hunting and infiltrates a secret network of fugitives, she discovers she might have been their prey all along. 
    To escape their clutches, she’ll have to reckon with her mother’s harrowing past and confront a painful truth: that they might be more alike than she ever imagined.
