Praise for The Trees Grew Because I Bled There: Collected Stories
The stories collected here are by turns confident, brutal, and breathtaking.. must-read horror The New York Times
These stories are body horror at its best-but they also enter the realms of dark relationships, intrusions that change our lives forever, obviously not for the best, the fear of illness, of taking care, of love, of obsession, of attachment. They are nightmarish and they are deeply human. I loved them and also my jaw dropped at how daring they are, how far they go. Eric La Rocca is not only good: there's courage in his literature. Mariana Enriquez, author of The Dangers of Smoking in Bed
The Trees Grew Because I Bled There holds you in thrall until the final transgressive act. Here is a collection of stories at once sophisticated and deeply unsettling, each bolder and more spellbinding-and more revelatory-than the last. Eric LaRocca is one of the horror genre's most vital voices. Andy Davidson, author of The Hollow Kind
This collection is sublime grounded horror. These stories could be happening in your neighborhood or in the lives of one of your friends, which makes it even more disturbing. Every story is unique in the way it builds aching tension. I read it in one day. Definitely a must read. V. Castro, author of The Queen of the Cicadas and The Haunting of Alejandra
A powerful collection of eight startling stories. Highly recommended. Ellen Datlow, editor of the annual series The Best Horror of the Year
Magnificent stories that explore the darkest depths of the human soul. Lyrical, heartbreaking, devastating-this is literary horror at its finest. Tim Waggoner, author of Your Turn to Suffer
Sometimes you meet someone and within a few minutes you know you're going to be the best of friends. That's how I felt about this book within a few sentences. For such a slim volume it packs a huge punch, touching on Ray Bradbury and Roald Dahl, but completely its own. I felt a pain in my chest during some of the stories, a visceral anxiety to some of the writing. Eric LaRocca is truly original, truly subversive, and truly talented. Priya Sharma, author of Ormeshadow
Something is rotten at the heart of LaRocca's literary world. An unease, a disquiet, a world-spanning cancer. Grief and horror unfold in tandem in one of the most original and startling collections I've read in a long while. The Trees Grew Because I Bled There is a dark elegy and not one to be taken lightly. Don't miss it. John Hornor Jacobs, author of A Lush and Seething Hell
