Redfiend Publishing is pleased to announce the release of Alexander Theroux’s new book Spite; or, Wounds That Wouldn’t Heal on December 1, 2025.
Spite is a remarkable collection of rich, up-to-date, and astonishingly original short stories, a body of ten unsparing and implacable narratives, each with a different setting and plot – the reprisal for a bitter event in the fourth grade; a hot dog vendor's one nemesis in New York City; an account of several hair-raising murders in Maine; a prep school teacher plagued by a revengeful former student, and several other tales culled from his razor-sharp memory of hurtful personal moments based on his own life. This is a book to be placed fittingly with two other assemblages of his truly memorable short stories, his Early Stories (2021) and Later Stories(2022).
One hundred numbered, autographed copies of the first edition hardcover book, with a custom-designed bookplate, are available for purchase from Redfiend Publishing.
