Publisher's Summary

Our Own Unique Affliction is the story of Alice Ann, a dejected immortal who longs for her life in the sun while navigating guilt, loss, family, meaning, murder, and all that comes with the curse of living forever. An existential, quiet until it's not, bleak hallucination on duality, rife with fangs, empathy, blood, and grief.

Critic Reviews

"Unexpected and grim, Scott J. Moses' Our Own Unique Affliction is the most inventive and bombastically gruesome vampire story I've read since The Light at the End by John Skipp and Craig Spector. An exquisitely written meditation on grief, family, and trauma, told with such empathy and care. I feel broken after reading this book, and I applaud Scott for obliterating my soul with such grace and tenderness." (Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke and Other Misfortunes)

"Moses tenders a vampire's origin and fate in the skin of a mood-soaked tragedy, embraced by bloody nights and unyielding regrets. Fans of Paul Tremblay's The Pallbearers Club should sink their fangs in before sunrise." (Hailey Piper, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Queen of Teeth)

"Moses gives us not only complicated and relatable characters, but also cinematic scene-setting coated with pathos and grit. Our Own Unique Affliction forces readers to face that often circumstance is the only thing separating us from the monsters." (J.A.W. McCarthy, Shirley Jackson Award nominated author of Sometimes We’re Cruel and Other Stories)
