Dark Things I Adore by Katie Lattari
A gorgeously unsettling debut, Dark Things I Adore collects stories that excavate the tender, the taboo, and the terrible from the everyday. Katie Lattari moves between domestic interiors and liminal spaces with a precise, lyrical voice, rendering obsessions, grief, and desire in prose that is at once intimate and eerie. Characters cling to rituals and memories as the world frays around them; ordinary objects become index cards of longing and dread. These tales—part ghost story, part uncanny fable—reveal how love and harm can mirror each other, and how small, persistent violences shape who we become.
For readers who savor psychological depth, spare lyricism, and narratives that linger like a chill, Dark Things I Adore is a cunning, tenderly dark collection that refuses easy comfort.
