About North American Lake Monsters
Nathan Ballingrud’s debut collection explores monsters both real and imagined, external and internal. These stories combine supernatural horror with bruised human intimacy, focusing on damaged people, love, desperation, and the darker regions of the psyche where human beings and monsters begin to resemble one another.
