KB Cottrill

Suburban life might look peaceful, but the smiles are strained, the casseroles are passive-aggressive, and something bizarre is happening behind those blackout curtains. In Buried Alive in Suburbia, a collection of darkly humorous short stories by K. B. Cottrill, a vengeful wife texts from the grave, dog walks turn deadly, and there's an iceberg on someone's lawn. Equal parts twisted, satirical, and disturbingly relatable, these 22 stories expose the screams behind every Home Sweet Home sign. If you have freaky neighbors or wonder what that weird noise coming from the other side of the picket fence is, you'll feel right at home here.
