Description
Uncertain Sons is a startling and masterful collection exploring familial love and trauma; societal and technological anxieties; identity and class; and alternate near-future irrealities. Sharp, incisive, imaginative, and visionary, Thomas Ha's debut heralds the arrival of a vital new voice.
Praise for UNCERTAIN SONS
"You! Yes, you! You need this book! The stories in Uncertain Sons already feel like classics of the uncanny. As inventive as Ray Bradbury, as unsettling as Thomas Ligotti or Carmen Maria Machado, Ha knows how to produce that peculiar, pleasurable, creeping sense of wrongness and dislocation so particular to weird horror. I am such a fan of Thomas Ha's writing-and I expect that you will be, too."
-Kelly Link, Nebula, Hugo, and World Fantasy Award-winning author of The Book of Love and Get in Trouble
"Thomas Ha's first collection, Uncertain Sons and Other Stories, offers a unique voice and stylistic range. Engaging characters in believable yet off kilter realities will remind readers of their own lives. One of the very best new collections I've seen in a while."
-Jeffrey Ford, Author of A Natural History of Hell and Crackpot Palace
"A devastatingly good book of stories. Thomas Ha offers glimpses of weird worlds that continue to bubble and spread in your mind long after you finish the stories, slowly seeping into every crevice of your brain. This is a collection I wish I'd written. This is weird horror at its very best."
-Brian Evenson, Author of Good Night, Sleep Tight, and The Glassy, Burning Floor of Hell
"A perfect puzzle box, beautifully constructed and impeccably watertight. Together these stories drop us into a world agonizingly like our own-but we mustn't let our guard down once we're in. Wise as well as clever, sharp as well as tender. Ha is a virtuoso."
-Premee Mohamed, Nebula Award-winning author of The Butcher of the Forest
"This book is all the evidence you need that Ha is one of the powerful emerging voices in short fiction."
-John Wiswell, Nebula Award-winning author of Someone You Can Build a Nest In and Wearing the Lion
"I loved Uncertain Sons and Other Stories. Ha is one of our absolute best working right now. Go get it!"
- Arkady Martine, Author of Rose/House
"Ha is one of the most exciting writers of short fantastic fiction to come along in years, and Uncertain Sons and Other Stories is highly recommended."
-Steve Rasnic Tem, Recipient of the H.W.A.'s Lifetime Achievement Award
"Uncertain Sons is sure to be a collection that reverberates through the horror scene, and if you haven't read Ha's work before, you need to remedy that ASAP."
-Lyndsie Manusos, Book Riot
"[A]n engaging, kinetic, and profoundly well-crafted set of stories... [I]t marks him out as one to watch."
-William Shaw, Strange Horizons
"Ha's collection offers readers a subtle yet terrifying reading experience, highlighting the horror of humanity and the environment in which we live. Not for the faint of heart, but perfect for readers looking for a quieter horror read."
-The New York Public Library
