Horror Stories: A Memoir

The two-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter behind the groundbreaking albumÂ Exile in GuyvilleÂ traces her life and career in a genre-bendingÂ memoir in stories about the pivotal moments that haunt her.

When Liz Phair shook things up with her musical debut,Â Exile in Guyvilleâ€”making her as much a cultural figure as a feminist pioneer and rock starâ€”her raw candor, uncompromising authenticity, and deft storytelling inspired a legion of critics, songwriters, musicians, and fans alike. Now, like a Gen X Patti Smith, Liz Phair reflects on the path she has taken in these piercing essays that reveal the indelible memories that have stayed with her.
Â
For Phair, horror is in the eye of the beholderâ€”in the often unrecognized universal experiences of daily pain, guilt, and fear that make up our humanity. Illuminating despair with hope and consolation, tempering it all with her signature wit,Â Horror StoriesÂ is immersive, taking readers inside the most intimate junctures of Phairâ€™s life, from facing her own bad behavior and the repercussions of betraying her fundamental values, to watching her beloved grandmother inevitably fade, to undergoing the beauty of childbirth while being hit up for an autograph by the anesthesiologist.
Â
Horror StoriesÂ is a literary accomplishment that reads like the confessions of a friend. It gathers up all of our isolated shames and draws them out into the light, uniting us in our shared imperfection, our uncertainty and our cowardice, smashing the stigma of not being in control. But most importantly, the uncompromising precision and candor ofÂ Horror StoriesÂ transforms these deeply personal experiences into tales about each and every one of us.
