Infernal Tramps

by Alex Grass

Infernal Tramps is a collection of seventeen short stories that explore the boundaries of weird fiction, body horror, and cosmic dread. Through a blend of visceral, tactile prose and dark satire, the anthology examines human anxieties—such as medical debt, consumerism, and loneliness—by twisting them into nightmarish, often ambiguous scenarios. The stories range from flash fiction to longer narratives, featuring characters on the margins who encounter the monstrous in the mundane, whether through a mysterious pest-control device, a forgotten video game, or a surgical implant gone wrong. The collection is noted for its atmospheric, unsettling tone and its refusal to provide tidy resolutions, instead inviting readers to sit with the grotesque and the uncanny.
