The Younger and Other Stories, the debut short story collection by Daniel J. O’Malley, gathers haunting stories that trace the moments when ordinary life begins to drift into the uncanny, when circumstances shift, reality dissolves, and the familiar world reveals itself to be far stranger than it first appeared. By turns tender and unsettling, the collection explores the unstable spaces between connection, consequence, and uncertainty in prose that is elemental, precise, and quietly unnerving.
The Younger and Other Stories will be published on April 13, 2027, by Hub City Press.
Daniel J. O’Malley’s fiction has appeared in The Atlantic, The Kenyon Review, Granta, Subtropics, Alaska Quarterly Review, and The Best American Short Stories, among other publications, and has been featured on NPR’s Selected Shorts. He grew up in Missouri and currently lives in West Virginia, where he teaches at Marshall University.
Debutiful is honored to reveal the cover of The Younger and Other Stories, which features art by Nancy Friedland, along with a Q&A with O’Malley about its creation.
