    About this ebook

    Don't Clean The Aquarium is the first volume in the Complete Works of Jeffrey Osier. This book comprises some of the author's earliest and most memorable stories. Often touted as a successor to Lovecraft, and compared to Thomas Ligotti, Osier's work is dark, surreal, and guaranteed to leave you with images that will haunt you long after you finish reading. From the streets of Chicago to the pages of a lost volume of boyhood reading matter, from the aquarium in the front room to the frigid, drifting snow, get ready for one of the darkest literary rides of your life. Includes an introduction from the author with insights into the writing of each story.
