✦ Synopsis

Extraordinary stories of crime,passion, and adventure from TheAtavist magazine, the trailblazingleader in longform narrative writing.

Since its inception, The Atavist Magazine has been a pioneer of today's longform journalism renaissance. Now, Love and Ruin brings ten of the magazine's most astonishing stories into print for the first time. These writers have taken reporting to the extremes of nature, turned inward to explore what makes us human, and burrowed deep into archives in search of mysterious figures and events more surprising than anything in contemporary fiction. What unifies these nonfiction masterpieces is the keen eye with which their writers capture the details of human experience, and their knack for hooking us into a story and never letting go.
