Cut to Care

A chilling collection of short stories exploring the depths of human darkness and the cost of empathy.
In Aaron Dries's Cut to Care, social workers impersonate the deceased to comfort grieving families, a woman grapples with the weight of a cheated suicide, and a candlestick maker crafts human chandeliers from drunken cowboys. These tales, ranging from supernatural to domestic, splatterpunk to cosmic, remind us of the price of caring too much—or not enough.

For readers who enjoy dark, emotionally resonant fiction that explores the complexities of the human condition. This unforgettable collection, featuring an introduction by Mick Garris, delves into themes of loss, grief, and the blurred lines between kindness and cruelty. Perfect for fans of horror, psychological thrillers, and suspenseful stories with an Australian gothic edge.
