The Trees Grew Because I Bled There by Eric LaRocca

Collected Stories

A collection of unsettling horror stories that peel back the skin of intimacy to reveal obsession, cruelty, and the grotesque costs of love. Through vignettes and longer pieces, characters grapple with grief, queerness, and bodily decay as their relationships warp into violence, manipulation, and betrayal. Spare, lyrical prose and shocking twists linger like a wound, asking how much of ourselves we’ll sacrifice to be seen, saved, or forgiven.
