If you are the rare sort of person who has asked themself, "Where can I find terrible things?," the answer is — much like death — that they are closer than you think.
1.
Right on this site. It's the easiest place to find our books. You're already here, we're here. You should hang out. Pour yourself a draught of something terrible. Why are you even on this page? Go straight to the stories and start reading.
2.
Lying on a park bench, subway seat, tucked under a windshield wiper, taped to a backpack, in the bathrooms at work. Terrible Things are all around; you just have to look somewhere unexpected to find them.
3.
Google Books, Amazon, all those places. Free, as they should be -- if anyone makes you pay for a Terrible Things book, do the world a favor and kindly (a) let us know and (b) banish them with an exorcism.

Missionaries. We're actually serious — like all the world's major plagues, our books are spread by viewers like you. If you have a day job, print out a few (or a lot, depending how often your boss comes by). If you've got a printer and a bunch of extra ink, or money to spare, we'd love it if you made your own copies and spread them around. And, if you have some gold leaf and a hand that doesn't cramp up, make your own copies. Just please take care to attribute the creators.
