Jeremy Shipp brings you THE ATROCITIES, a haunting gothic fantasy of a young ghost's education
When Isabella died, her parents were determined to ensure her education wouldn't suffer.
But Isabella's parents had not informed her new governess of Isabella's... condition, and when Ms Valdez arrives at the estate, having forced herself through a surreal nightmare maze of twisted human-like statues, she discovers that there is no girl to tutor.
Or is there...?

@emmalangevin An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon is fantastic. The Atrocities by Jeremy Shipp is a grotesque, gothic, masterpiece. And, I kind of write books and am a little nonbinary guy so if you could support me that would be awesome 🥺 Third Heaven's Throne https://t.co/qwITc40P8l
quotes from gothic fiction every hour. run by circe moskowitz (and occasionally @ashiamonet).
A mellow breeze cools my face. The air smells like lavender. We work our way through the labyrinth, leaving the Atrocities behind us. The Atrocities, Jeremy C. Shipp
Critics’ reviews
Praise for this book
Praise for The Atrocities
"This beautifully executed tale . . . will surely linger with readers."--Publishers Weekly
Praise for Jeremy Shipp
"Shipp's clear, insistent voice pulls you down into the rabbit hole and doesn't let go." --Jack Ketchum
"Jeremy C. Shipp's boldness, daring, originality, and sheer smarts make them one of the most vital younger writers who have colonized horror literature in the past decade. Shipp's modernist clarity, plus their willingness to risk damn near everything, put them up at the head of the pack with the very best." --Peter Straub
