From the author of the viral sensation Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke comes They Were Here Before Us, a novella written in pieces, designed to be consumed as a single, cohesive work. The only thing more brutal than nature is love."They Were Here Before Us warps reality in a way that allows us to see the horrific, grotesque beauty." -- Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Pallbearers Club."Eric LaRocca's They Were Here Before Us is a disquieting piece of work. Readers will live with this one for a while." -- Laird Barron, author of Swift to Chase"Eric LaRocca's voice--so evocative, so original, so urgent--is one for the ages." -- Andy Davidson, author of The Hollow Kind"LaRocca is selling his small press titles in larger press numbers, and this might be his best and most accessible work yet."
