Hub City Press to publish Daniel J. O'Malley's collection The Younger and other stories

Hub City Press is proud to announce it will publish Daniel J. O'Malley's collection THE YOUNGER AND OTHER STORIES in spring 2027. 

The stories in this haunting debut are transmissions from another place, dialed into an uncanny frequency all their own. They capture the moments when circumstances shift, when life drifts off course, when the ordinary gradually–sometimes suddenly–dissolves and offers a glimpse at how truly strange this world might be.

By turns tender and unsettling, this is a world where games have consequences, though the rules aren’t always clear. In prose elemental and precise, O’Malley navigates the spaces in between and shows us a world just strange enough to be our own.

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 been featured on NPR's Selected Shorts. He grew up in Missouri and currently lives in West Virginia, where he teaches at Marshall University.
