    The World Fantasy Award Finalist: “It’s Clive Barker crossed with Tanith Lee set to a Siouxsie and the Banshees beat, and I loved every second of it.” —Gemma Files, Shirley Jackson Award–winning author of Experimental Film Welcome to a world of monsters, ghosts, and witches, both seductive and terrifying. In the first collection of short fiction from the author of the Necromancer Chronicles, reality shifts and shimmers with potent magic. More than twenty works, including two poems, feature characters who will steal your heart just as easily as your soul. In “Wrack,” a fisherman becomes so enchanted by a mermaid that the call of the waves becomes impossible to resist. When a killer comes to “Dogtown,” he learns that his bark isn’t worse than the bites of the locals. A dying artist returns to Ireland, where the faerie she has always loved tempts her with eternal life, as long as she leaves her humanity on the shore like so much “Flotsam.” And in “Smoke & Mirrors,” the circus comes to a town strangely bereft of ghosts, thanks to a demonic being conducting a train to the netherworld. With prose that is “gently pulling, promising beautifully cold oblivion in smothering darkness,” Amanda Downum transports you to sweltering southern swamps and the labyrinthine streets of Old World cities, proving without a doubt that “she’s one of the very best dark fantastical writers working today” (Bracken MacLeod, author of Closing Costs). “Ethereal, atmospheric, and mysterious.” —Elizabeth Bear, Hugo Award–winning author of Machine “These stories range from the melancholic to the downright chilling, and deftly evoke both the truly strange and the very human.” —Liz Bourke, author and reviewer for Tor.com and Locus

    Residents had long forgotten the shocking events of the summer of 1972. Until someone moved into Old Lady Ketchel’s derelict home on 33 Tailings Way. 
    It had been 25 years since Old Lady Ketchel’s reign of terror ended, and the Slaughter family and empire met its fiery end. Enough time for residents to purge the town of the Slaughter monarchy, and any vestige of the family’s past influence or existence. Or so they thought. Little did they know that Enoch Slaughter, Jr. had fathered a baby boy with a teenage stripper just before his demise. 
    Then there was Karen Garber and her baby Loralei, thought to be the product of her marriage to Enoch Slaughter IV. However, Karen knew the truth, which she took with her when she and Loralei fled Slaughter for greener pastures. But now, Loralei was a young adult with questions about the identity of her birth father. Something her mother vowed never to divulge. 
    So when Loralei returned to what used to be Slaughter and moved into the ramshackle eyesore that had been Old Lady Ketchel’s home, residents became nervous. It had stood vacant and neglected for a quarter of a century. Not because the townspeople hadn’t thought to bulldoze it and create a nice, quiet green space. It’s just that every time a demolition crew stepped foot onto the property, some tragedy would befall them. Eventually, they gave up trying to rid the town of the one last remnant from Slaughter’s tumultuous past. 
    Why had Loralei moved back to town and into Old Lady Ketchel’s house? Would she come to some misfortune, like the demolition crews? Or was her distant connection to the town’s chaotic past a harbinger of calamities to come? 
    Loralei’s Siren Song is a sequel to the Slaughter Minnesota horror series. Just when you thought the chaos was over!
