Winner of the World Fantasy Award, and the Alberta Literary Award
Finalist for the Locus, Aurora, British Fantasy, Ignyte, and British Science Fiction Awards
Here there be gods and monsters - forged from flesh and stone and vengeance - emerging from the icy abyss of deep space, ascending from dark oceans, and prowling strange cities to enter worlds of chaos and wonder, where scientific rigor and human endeavour is tested to the limits. These are cosmic realms and watery domains where old offerings no longer appease the ancient Gods or the new and hungry idols. Deities and beasts. Life and death. Love and hate. Science and magic. And smiling monsters in human skin.
Premee Mohamed's debut collection of contemporary cosmic horror and dark fantasy heralds the arrival of a new and vibrant voice on the cutting edge of modern speculative fiction.

PRAISE FOR "No One Will Come Back for Us"
"Dark, strange, and wonderfully wild ... by turns brutal and tender, terrifying and sweet ... Mohamed accomplishes the rare feat of maintaining a sense of human connection no matter how outlandish the stories' premises. The result will both terrify and delight."
- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"Dark, strange, and dazzling ... an impressive collection that shows a talented writer at the top of their game. Mohamed will be showing up in many best of the year lists with this one."
-Gabino Iglesias, Locus
"Premee Mohamed is a top-notch fantasist with a dark streak of unease bubbling through her fiction."
- Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Author of Mexican Gothic
"In Premee Mohamed's elegant, arresting stories, flawed, fragile characters face entities and events vast and strange. The result is the best kind of fiction, moving and memorable."
- John Langan, Author of Corpsemouth and Other Autobiographies
"No One Will Come Back for Us does an incredible job showcasing Premee Mohamed's short fiction, vivid anatomical studies of anguished human hearts opened up so wide and vulnerable in worlds far too big, far too broken, too far gone. Stories of what people will do for each other, do to each other, out of love and pride and cruelty. This is contemporary cross-genre horror at its finest, having stolen organs from fantasy and science fiction alike to incorporate them, pulsating and alive, into its own body. It's alive, it's behind you, and it needs your eyeballs. Give them immediately."
- Vajra Chandrasekera, Author of The Saint of Bright Doors
"A catalog of turmoils, each achingly human."
- John Wiswell, Nebula Award Winning Author of Open House on Haunted Hill
"Mesmeric, beautifully human, limned with a heart-broken tenderness even in its darkest moments."
- Cassandra Khaw, Author of The Salt Grows Heavy
"Visits to the place where the mundane turns suddenly into the uncanny. Every story is an elegant masterpiece of imagination and the unexpected."
- Adrian Tchaikovsky, Author of Children of Time
