A medical ward for a mysterious bone-melting disorder is the setting of a perilous love triangle. A curtain of void obliterates the globe at a steady pace, forcing Earth’s remaining inhabitants to decide with whom they want to spend eternity. A man fleeing personal scandal enters a codependent relationship with a house that requires a particularly demanding level of care.

Meanwhile, in a poignant companion piece, a woman and a blot forge a genuine, albeit doomed, connection. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrescient and wildly imaginative, \u003ci\u003eOut There \u003c\/i\u003edepicts an uncanny landscape that holds a mirror to our subconscious fears and desires. Each story beats with its own fierce heart, and together they herald an exciting new arrival in the tradition of speculative literary fiction.","brand":"Random House Trade Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43417910083839,"sku":"9780593231487","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780593231487_s600x595.jpg?v=1775598623","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780593231487","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
