In Absence is OUT NOW

My new short story collection, In Absence, is out now! It's a little bit of a doozy of a collection and includes a frame story centered on my personal journey through grief. It's an odd, frightening, funny, and hopeful work that intertwines a number of different motif.

Thank you for all your support! I'm really excited to share my new work with you.

Blurb: In Absence is the fresh and frightening short story collection by Laura

Diaz de Arce. Enjoy tales of shape-shifting nature beasts, an affectionate

giant squid, an ancient Greek drama on the subway, a Sinatra-loving were-goat,

take a trip to a museum in Hell, and more. What brings together this eclectic work that spans genres, tone, and voice is the exploration of the varying shades of grief. Like MONSTROSITY: Tales of Transformation, readers are sure to find works that pull at their heartstrings while still delivering on gore and body horror.
