Get both of Luke O’Neil’s acclaimed works of fiction—A Creature Wanting Form and We Had It Coming—together in one bundle.

These books inhabit the feverish edges of our world: stories of collapse and connection, anger and empathy, addiction and survival. O’Neil’s writing swings between heartbreak and dark humor, confronting the absurdity of modern life without ever losing its pulse of humanity.

In A Creature Wanting Form, O’Neil blends stories, essays, and surreal vignettes that capture the anxious drift of life in late-stage capitalism. The writing is furious, funny, and tender. Reality blurs at the edges: a shark in the swimming pool, a text from your dead parents, a planet quietly burning.

We Had It Coming goes even darker. It gathers fiction, poetry, and reportage that take aim at violence, grief, and the everyday absurdities of collapse. It is grim, but shot through with compassion, humor, and flashes of real beauty.

Together, these books form a raw and haunting portrait of what it means to live and feel in a world that is constantly breaking apart.
