"A dazzlingly dark and twisted collection, combining elegant plot twists with a brilliantly observed vision of depravity and evil. Proof positive that human nature is ultimately the scariest subject of all." - Alan Bilton, author of The End of the Yellow House

This disturbing collection of short stories lays bare the horrors of the human experience. Llewellyn brilliantly details the damage that we enact upon ourselves and others with an aim to tell stories without compromise that explore the violent and vile through portraits of seemingly normal individuals. The kind you meet every day.

The world appears an increasingly scary place, from pandemics to political upheaval, and Human Beings reminds us that the biggest threats are not coming at us from afar but are close by or even inside us.

Twisting between the disturbing, the humorous, and the heartbreaking, Human Beings will forever change the way you look at your neighbour, how you treat your coworker, and even have you second-guessing the person lying next to you in bed.

"Prepare to veer between being scared, repulsed and genuinely moved." - Carly Holmes, author of Figurehead

"A collection that leaves you feeling damaged at the core for belonging to this fraternity of gloriously deranged beings. Impressive and important." - K.E. Barron, author of The Eye of Verishten
