In Elsewhere, Alexis Schaitkin crafts a hauntingly beautiful and richly atmospheric tale set in a hidden mountain town where mothers inexplicably vanish into the clouds.

In Elsewhere, Alexis Schaitkin crafts a hauntingly beautiful and richly atmospheric tale set in a hidden mountain town where mothers inexplicably vanish into the clouds. The story follows Vera, who learns early on that motherhood carries an eerie risk: loving too much, too little, or deviating from tradition may mean “the affliction” comes for you. As Vera becomes wife, then mother herself, claustrophobic community rituals and whispered judgments suffocate her, pushing her to confront the oppressive silence. When she begins to experience signs of the affliction—blurred reflections, failing hands—Vera embarks on a desperate escape from the only world she’s ever known. With precise, lyrical prose and a speculative framework reminiscent of Shirley Jackson and Margaret Atwood, Elsewhere is a meditation on motherhood, identity, belonging, and the price of conformity. It is as unsettling as it is mesmerizing, inviting readers to linger in the spaces between love and erasure
