Theresa DeLucci, editor of COME JOIN US BY THE FIRE and Senior Associate Director of Marketing at Nightfire says, “We wanted this long list of stories to showcase the scope of modern horror, from the cosmic and Lovecraftian, the beloved undead tropes of zombies, ghosts, and slashers, to the more uncanny and internal terrors of isolation, lost love, aging, and one of the briefest, most distressing alien abduction stories you’ll ever hear (‘No Matter Which Way We Turned’ by 2017 Guggenheim Fellowship recipient Brian Evenson.)” The authors also reflect the diversity of horror as a field, with selections from horror grandmasters such as Joe R.

Will doesn't see his father very often because of the hours he puts in at the office. Will's dad works for an international trading company and has to wake up early every morning to commute to his office on the eighty-fifth floor in the south building of the World Trade Center in Manhattan. His father doesn't even have an exciting job like his best friend James' father who is a fireman. As part of a school assignment, all the students in his class will be going to work with their parents tomorrow, but Will isn't excited about it - he'd rather sleep in and do nothing with his friends.
