I was overjoyed to find that I have two stories on the long list of recommendations for Ellen Datlow’s Best Horror of the Year #14: ”Chalk” and ”Roadkill”. This is such an honor and I am in very good company.
”Chalk” was first published in The Half That You See, published by Dark Ink Books. ”Roadkill” was first published in Nightscript VII.
Both stories can be found in my collection Growth.
Today is the release day of Growth, my collection of psychological horror. The book contains twenty short stories and is published by Dark Ink Books. It’s available in Kindle and paperback formats.
”Elin Olausson may be a relatively new reverberation in the symphony of dark fiction authors writing today, but she is one on which to keep a close eye. Her stories are on par with those of other powerhouses in contemporary psychological fiction—Iain Reid, Asa Nonami, Alex Michaelides, Gillian Flynn—and saunter with creepiness of the highest caliber. Growth is a collection that is a must-read for anyone who appreciates literary horror, as it’s certain to finish as one of 2022’s best releases in the genre.”
– Rebecca Rowland, Ginger Nuts of Horror and Horror Tree

The release date for my short story collection Growth is less than two months away. On June 20 you can get your hands on the book, and if you preorder the e-book you’ll have it auto-delivered as soon as it’s released.
Growth will also be available in paperback.
Twenty dark tales of psychosocial horror fill the pages of Elin Olausson’s stunningly creepy short story collection debut. Three sisters live isolated in the wilderness, unbothered, until their world shatters with the arrival of a stranger. A young man revisits the childhood home where his sister danced and his mother died. A woman is promised the house of her dreams and goes mad when she doesn’t get it. Two evil teens stand united against the world, until one of them falls in love. In an abandoned asylum in the desert, a girl chants her own name.
Filled with madness, darkness and the truth of the human condition, Olausson’s stories will leave readers thinking about their own sanity and questioning the motives of those who are closest to them.
Growth is published by Dark Ink Books.
