"Fans of Ottessa Moshfegh and other authors of bleak fiction will like "Something Is Always Happening Somewhere"

Things go from bad to worse in this dark novella about a woman whose life unravels after her wife is murdered. Just 130 pages long, it is a well-crafted study of grief that doesn't offer a shred of redemption. And yet! There is something so compelling about protagonist Dale Travers, that I felt glued to her side as she spirals, each move she makes more fatalistic than the last.

Reading "Something is Always Happening Somewhere" makes me eager to see what McClure does next." - Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"Locked, forced open, slammed shut; McClure's book introduces us to a number of doors we are met with throughout our lifetime. Some we enter and others we keep closed. Something Is Always Happening Somewhere is a tale of horror on self-sufficiency and the resiliency of the human spirit. McClure asks us to confront the edges that life pushes us towards and the things we find solace in clinging to. It approaches the belief in starting over, while still being haunted." - Alana M. Kelley for Maudlin House

"That's the magic of writing. This book is upsetting people. It's making people feel. And that's all I wanted for this. In writing Something Is Always Happening Somewhere I, to put it crassly, hoped that people would one day read it and come away from the experience feeling like s**t. The story, the actual comings and goings within the book are just tools, moving sidewalks of sorts, to advance the reader through a kind of Disney's Haunted Mansion ride experience of visceral sadness. And in the first cart of that ride is the book's main character, Dale Travers." - Kelly McClure in an essay for Crime Reads

"McClure's debut novella is a raw and unfiltered exploration of trauma and grief." - Rebecca Katz for Bust Magazine
