Adam McOmber’s collection This New & Poisonous Air establishes a deeply unsettling historical landscape where the boundary between the ordinary and the macabre dissolves completely. Drawing from the New Wave Fabulist tradition, these historically grounded stories trade cheap shocks for a sustained, creeping dread, wrapping the fantastic in layers of quiet strangeness. The atmosphere is heavy with unease, driven by a quiet dread that lingers long after turning the final page. It is an ideal pick for readers who appreciate literary horror, subtle psychological friction, and dark fabulism over conventional terror.
