The Never Tell Collection is a set of six short stories by Caroline Kepnes, all published in 2024. The collection includes The Other Side of the Road, Everywhere You Look, The Ghost Writer, Scorpions, Jackrabbit Skin, and The Bad Friend. Each story is a self-contained piece of psychological fiction, giving Kepnes room to explore different characters and situations outside of her longer works.
Short fiction suits Kepnes’s style well. She has always been good at getting inside a character’s head quickly, and the shorter format lets her set up an unsettling scenario and pay it off without the slower burn of a full novel. Fans of her You series will recognize the sharp observation and dark humor, applied here to a wider variety of settings and people.
