My Book, "Something's Gotta Kill You", Is Available for Preorder
Above is the full cover spread for Something’s Gotta Kill You, my first collection of short fiction. The book will be released on May 29, 2026. Preorders just went live, for both paperback and digital, and I’ll also be offering autographed copies.
Digital (Kindle) copies can be preordered through Amazon for the staggeringly low price of $2.99 at this link.
Paperback copies can be preordered from the publisher’s shop for $15 plus shipping at this link.
Signed copies are $30 ($25 for the book and $5 for shipping) anywhere in the continental USA and can be purchased directly from me at this link. If you know me personally, you can also reach out via message or email and I’ll get in touch with you when I have copies (late May or early June). If you’re local and want to pick it up from me at one of my standup shows I can even waive the $5 for shipping. If you’re international and want a copy, shoot me an email at gregsisco@gregsisco.com and I can calculate cost.
I loved horror short stories from as far back as I can remember, all the way to when my mom used to read me Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark as a little boy. I’ve wanted to release a collection of dark fiction ever since I started publishing my work, but I also really wanted to make sure it was special and that I was proud of every story in it. I am excited to finally be able to present 18 stories (12 of which have appeared in various anthologies and magazines and 6 of which are brand new) that I think live up to the standard I set for myself.
From the back cover:
Greg Sisco’s first collection of short stories includes 18 dark tales ranging from scary to satirical and from hopeful to heartbreaking, but always from the darkest corridors of the human heart.
Here you’ll find a haunted film in an old-timey movie house (”Summers with Annie”), a quaint Christmas village guarding a morbid secret (”The Morbs”), a brutal crime in an otherworldly hotel (”The 4th Floor”), smugly intellectual parasites possessing a college campus (”The Pest Nest”), a chef who treats bad reviews as personal affronts (”Everyone’s a Critic”), and a society governed by an artificial being (”The God App”), as well as a dozen other sinister stories.
From spirits and monsters to real-world terrors, Something’s Gotta Kill You pokes and prods at the subject of mortality with many styles and tones, but always circles back to one idea: We are here. For now. And that will have to do.
“An engrossing exploration of different genres. Haunting, poignant, and, also, pretty often hilarious. Sisco’s work cannot be classified as any one thing, other than ‘must-read.’ These tales take surprising turns, but most revelatory are their characters—complicated and all-too-human. Plus, there’s a killer hippo!”
-Evan Baughfman, author of Mauls of the Wild and Try Not to Die in a Dark Fairy Tale

Okay. I think that’s everything. This has been a years-long project for me and I am excited to finally have it out there soon. I am very thankful to GenreBlast Books for going along with me on the journey and I can’t wait for you all to read it.
