Cry Your Way Home

Damien Angelica Walters is known as a genre-hopping, provocative, award-winning writer of harrowing genre fiction. With her second collection of short stories, she collects seventeen stories that delve deep into human sorrow and loss, weaving pain, fear, and resilience into beautiful tales that are sure to haunt you long after flipping the last page.

In this collection, Walters questions who the real monsters are, rips families apart and stitches them back together, and turns a cell phone into the sharpest of weapons.
