They Were Here Before Us collects half a dozen bizarre and beautifully gruesome stories. LaRocca's almost poetic writing makes the dark things of the world strangely captivating.
My favorite of the collection was the final story, When It's Dark Out, which follows a father and son through a dark night excursion together where they encounter something, neither of them wants to face.
The book is also brilliantly complemented inside and out by the etherral artwork of Caitlin Hackett.
