ReviewsPraise for The Trees Grew Because I Bled There : Collected Stories: "These stories are body horror at its best--but they also enter the realms of dark relationships, intrusions that change our lives forever, obviously not for the best, the fear of illness, of taking care, of love, of obsession, of attachment. They are nightmarish and they are deeply human. I loved them and also my jaw dropped at how daring they are, how far they go. Eric La Rocca is not only good: there's courage in his literature." - Mariana Enriquez, author of The Dangers of Smoking in Bed "The Trees Grew Because I Bled There holds you in thrall until the final transgressive act. Here is a collection of stories at once sophisticated and deeply unsettling, each bolder and more spellbinding--and more revelatory--than the last. Eric LaRocca is one of the horror genre's most vital voices." - Andy Davidson, author of The Hollow Kind "This collection is sublime grounded horror. These stories could be happening in your neighborhood or in the lives of one of your friends, which makes it even more disturbing. Every story is unique in the way it builds aching tension. I read it in one day. Definitely a must read." - V. Castro, author of The Queen of the Cicadas and The Haunting of Alejandra "A powerful collection of eight startling stories. Highly recommended." - Ellen Datlow, editor of the annual series The Best Horror of the Year "Magnificent stories that explore the darkest depths of the human soul. Lyrical, heartbreaking, devastating-this is literary horror at its finest." - Tim Waggoner, author of Your Turn to Suffer "Sometimes you meet someone and within a few minutes you know you're going to be the best of friends. That's how I felt about this book within a few sentences. For such a slim volume it packs a huge punch, touching on Ray Bradbury and Roald Dahl, but completely its own. I felt a pain in my chest during some of the stories. a visceral anxiety to some of the writing. Eric LaRocca is truly original, truly subversive, and truly talented." - Priya Sharma, author of Ormeshadow "Something is rotten at the heart of LaRocca's literary world. An unease, a disquiet, a world-spanning cancer. Grief and horror unfold in tandem in one of the most original and startling collections I've read in a long while. The Trees Grew Because I Bled There is a dark elegy and not one to be taken lightly. Don't miss it." - John Hornor Jacobs, author of A Lush and Seething Hel l, Praise for The Trees Grew Because I Bled There : Collected Stories: "Magnificent stories that explore the darkest depths of the human soul.

"A startling affair... I'll be cleaning up particles of darkness in my office for weeks." - Josh Malerman, author of Bird Box and Malorie "Bleak, clever, edgy, and vicious. Eric LaRocca draws his readers in for something they will never expect and never forget." - Sadie Hartman "LaRocca's combination of structure, adept pacing and masterful language is more complex than meets the eye... A must-read for fans of body horror, epistolary novels, and depravity" - Library Journal, Best Horror of 2021 "A hauntingly elegant, masterfully written, and ultimately devastating indictment of cruel manipulation and even crueler submission. This is one deeply fucked-up heartbreaker. You have been warned." - John Skipp, author of The Light at the End "Part Dennis Cooper's 'The Sluts', part David Cronenberg's 'The Brood'... Eric LaRocca's 'Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke' is a masterpiece of epistolary body horror." - Max Booth III author of We Need to Do Something "' Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke ' is a tight, merciless epistolary, each piece of correspondence coiling the reader around its finger and never letting go. LaRocca skillfully weaves a grotesque, unforgettable page-turner of manipulation and depravity. - Hailey Piper, author of Queen of Teeth "With darkly poetic prose and chilling stories that peel back layers of skin to reveal a beating, bloody heart, Eric LaRocca is the clear literary heir of Clive Barker." - Tyler Jones, author of Criterium and The Dark Side of the Room "Eric LaRocca is a fierce talent that knows no limit, masterful and utterly unmissable!" - Ross Jeffery, author of Juniper and Tome, Praise for The Trees Grew Because I Bled There : Collected Stories: "LaRocca's sharp, incisive writing shines a bright light on the disgust, pain, and trauma wriggling under conventional behavior and polite speech... deeply unsettling, beautifully crafted, and difficult to put down once it's started." -Booklist Starred Review "In this collection of eight horror shorts, LaRocca displays his signature style of rendering grotesque and brutal subject matter in exquisite prose...visceral depictions of unhinged psyches and unflinching body horror throughout will please LaRocca's fans--and ought to earn him some new ones." -Publishers Weekly "These stories are body horror at its best--but they also enter the realms of dark relationships, intrusions that change our lives forever, obviously not for the best, the fear of illness, of taking care, of love, of obsession, of attachment.
