Want to see something weird?

Embrace the odd? Satisfy your curiosity? Surrender to wonder?

From Crystal Lake Publishing and the Bram Stoker Award-winning co-editor of the smash hit Gutted: Beautiful Horror Stories comes Behold! Oddities, Curiosities and Undefinable Wonders.


Sixteen stories and two poems take you into the spaces between the ordinary—and the imaginations of some of today's masters of dark and thrilling fiction.



  • A travel writer learns the terrible secrets at a hotel that's not at all as it seems.

  • A disfigured woman and her daughter explore methods of weaponizing beauty.

  • An amateur beekeeper acquires an object that shows her the true

  • danger of the hive-mind.

  • Drifters ride the rails seeking something wondrous that could change their fates forever.

  • A strange creature that holds our very existence in its hands shapes the lives of two lovers to touching and devastating effect.

  • A young man helps his grandfather—and something much more monstrous—atone for bargains made during wartime.

  • And much, much more…
