A Book Riot's 2023 best book of the year and Nominated for the Aurora and Locus awards. Skin Thief: Stories features twelve tales of horror and dark fantasy, including the previously unpublished novelette, "Kill Jar," the Nebula Award-nominated "Laughter Among the Trees," and the Nebula, Aurora, and World Fantasy Award-nominated "Douen." The stories in this collection of dark fantasy and horror short stories grapple with the complexities of identity, racism, homophobia, immigration, oppression and patriarchy through nature, gothic hauntings, Trinidadian folklore and shape shifting. At the heart of the collection lie the questions: How do we learn to accept ourselves? How do we live in our own skin?
