We Are All Completely Fine

I've been in a couple of group therapy settings in my life. My participation in them ranged from very talkative to very quiet. As I've grown older, I've had a harder time expressing my feelings about almost anything. I've come to be known as the nice, quiet guy at group, work, and even the bar (where I only drink diet soda). So reading a novella about a group therapy session was extremely intriguing. Gregory got a lot of things right, from the one person who usually dominated the discussion, to the nice, quiet person who didn't contribute much. What made this extra intriguing was that the common factor among the participants was that all of them had some sort of bizarre or possibly supernatural experience. Their therapist is the only one seems to believe their stories and thinks sharing them might begin to heal them. This novella won a World Fantasy Award and a Shirley Jackson Award for horror/psychological suspense.
