What do you think of when you encounter the word, “horror”? Perhaps there is a film or character that immediately spawns in your mind when you read or hear this word. Gore, Halloween, and jump-scares— all of which are perfectly valid associations. But do you ever wonder about the horrors lurking right under our noses, right in front of us, or even among our neighbors?

This chapbook, disappearing from view, explores the idea of horror in the everyday— the mundane dread of living in an apartment with a neighbor whose car is too loud, the suggestions of some terrible act through a record on someone’s phone… witnessing an event for which you will never find closure.

Delve into the poems and short stories that forge a journey onward in spite of the horrors lurking all around us. While the meandering road is one sometimes full of sorrow and fear, it is a hopeful one, one of survival and a need for freedom.
