Nowhereville: Weird Is Other People is an anthology of urban weird fiction. These are stories of the city, of people interacting with the complexities that are other people.

You see, the fey are different from you and me. They don't think like us. They don't take kindly to our definitions and ideals. They are more than just the tricksters of legend. They are complicated. And they are everywhere and in wide variety. Call them fairies, spirits, yokai, peri—you will never forget them. We are insignificant in the face of that uncaring, alien intelligence. Until we catch their eye, that is.

And now, we're unleashing that overwhelming tide of fae on you. To be clear, we aren't trying to teach you...
