My Stalkers

Catherine Lacey's collection of short fiction, My Stalkers, features nine visceral stories exploring themes of identity, transformation, and the unsettling aspects of modern life. Through absurdist scenarios and sharp insights, the collection examines how women navigate the thrill, horror, and banality of becoming someone else—or no one at all—due to external forces such as technology, bureaucracy, and personal folly. Lacey skillfully reveals the darkly humorous and disquieting undercurrents hidden beneath everyday experiences, offering a thought-provoking reflection on contemporary existence.
