World of Hurt gathers together for the first time twenty eight short stories and novellas by the award-winning, critically acclaimed author of horror and suspense, Thomas Tessier. By turns disturbing, mysterious, harrowing and horrifying, these tales illuminate the darkness swirling on the edge of what is real and what is not—in both the world around us and in the lives of people caught up in it. Thomas Tessier's novels and stories have defied and pushed beyond genre expectations and norms, and World of Hurt is a milestone collection of his work.Stories included in this the Desert of DesertsThe Vacant LotEvelyn GraceThe BansheeBlancaA Grub Street TaleGhost MusicLa MouranteThe Infestation at RallsInfidelThe Woman in the Club CarCuring HitlerThe Green MenaceIn Praise of FollyThe VentriloquistTorching the EscaladeFoodNocturneClub SaudadeFor No OneLuluIf You See Me, Say HelloIn the Sand Hills10-31-2001I Remember MeThe Dreams of Dr. LadybankScramburg, USAFather Panic’s Opera Macabre
