About the Book:
If you haven't read the works of Owen King yet, you're in for a treat! The stories in this collection, including the brilliant title novella, carry the weight of real emotion and revelation and showcase the impressive versatility of a rising talent.

This special signed Limited Edition of King's acclaimed debut includes a new foreword by the author, revised and expanded versions of the stories, and a bonus short story, "The Idiot's Ghost," which hasn't appeared in any other publication of this collection. In addition, there will be a brand new introduction by John Freeman, who was editor of the literary magazine Granta until 2013 and is the former president of the National Book Critics Circle.

This beautiful special edition will be a must-have for our collectors and we don't expect it to last long given the small print run and Owen King's legion of fans!

...a compelling, imaginative debut collection of four short stories both creepy and heartfelt, plus a compassionate novella about a 15-year-old son of a single mother.... King achieves a surreal blend of gory, vivid description of unanesthetized dental surgery layered with the drug-addicted dentist's intermittent memories of a happier past. This original collection heralds the arrival of the next generation.
Publishers Weekly

The title novella of King's first collection is its heart and soul: a powerful exploration of the flimsiness of political moral certainty....The novella, like all great storytelling, has real strength. Newcomer King is a talent to watch.
Kirkus Reviews

[King's] is a voice well worth hearing...
Hartford Courant

King possesses a rare understanding of the macabre side of our workaday lives... We're All in This Together has enough moments of crystalline insight into human folly to prove he's finding a voice and an artistic sensibility all his own.
— Andrew Ervin, The Washington Post

Owen King knows a thing or two about our yen for hate, and he has made it a potent subtext of his literary debut... Some day, when historians are frantically looking for artifacts of our Age of Hate, I think they will stumble upon We're All in This Together.
Denver Post

Owen King manages to take all of these characters and their idiosyncratic lives and weave stories that are darkly hilarious, truthfully touching, and leave the reader in no doubt that we really are all in this together.
San Antonio Express-News
