Palimpsest: A Collection of Contemporary Horror (Paperback or Softback)

"One of the most exciting writers working today."
Mark Nixon, Shadows at the Door: The Podcast

From one of Canada’s hottest young talents comes this stellar collection of contemporary horror stories and poetry. Caitlin Marceau’s work ranges from the quietly unnerving to the deeply disturbing, taking in post-apocalyptic futures, supernatural forces, psychological terrors and deals with the devil. One thing’s for certain: these stories will linger in your mind for long after you’ve read them.

Praise for Palimpsest:

"Caitlin uses her stories and poetry to shred through the reader's nervous system while delicately shrouding each synapse with pure fear."
— Brutal Bookshelf

"I was continuously blown away by the writing, the quality of the scares and the disturbing dark images conveyed by Marceau."
— Goodreads Reviewer

"Palimpsest is one of those books that keeps the reader hooked throughout."
— Tomes and Tales

"Marceau is a poet as well as a prose writer. She carries the lean, exacting nature of poetry into her prose stories: there are no wasted words, and it’s clear that each sentence was carefully considered."
— Dreadfulesque

"What a wonderful debut collection. I couldn't help but read the entire of Palimpsest in one evening."
— SJ Townend
