HE'S A KIDNAPPER. BUT SHE'S THE REAL MONSTER . . .
Dark Is When the Devil Comes is the utterly gripping and chilling new novel from acclaimed horror author Daisy Pearce.
Reader reviews:
'I couldn't turn the pages fast enough'
'Phenomenal . . . a wild ride from start to finish'
'Completely gripping until the final page!'
'Haunting and propulsive, it had me reading late into the night - and jumping at every shadow' Hannah Whitten, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Foxglove King and Reliquary
Hazel is twenty-seven, and her life is falling apart. As an amateur mycologist - someone who studies mushrooms - Hazel's hobby takes her to some dark places, but following a traumatic divorce she reluctantly finds herself back in her childhood home in the shadow of the sprawling Idless wood. To start rebuilding, she takes the plunge and arranges to meet her estranged sister Cathy; she also bumps into Suzie, an old school friend with whom she shares a dark childhood secret.
But then Hazel meets Andrew, who claims to have rare fungi growing in his old farmhouse. Lured out into the wilderness by curiosity and no little professional ambition, Hazel is trapped by Andrew, shut in the basement with no help for miles around.
As Cathy and Suzie desperately begin the search for her, Hazel starts to feel that something darker and even more terrifying than Andrew resides in that farmhouse. But is the power living in the dark with her or . . . much, much closer?
Discover the brilliantly creepy and twisty new novel from Daisy Pearce, author of Something in the Walls. Part psychological thriller, part horror, it will thrill fans of books such as The Last House on Needless Street by Caitriona Ward, Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough and Home Before Dark by Riley Sager.
'A masterclass in unrelenting tension . . . Pearce strikes the perfect balance between the unforgiving tightrope of tension and pacing that's so expected of a thriller, and the creeping, impermeable dread of the best horror' Megan Bontrager, author of The Sea Hides Its Dead
'Pearce's taut storytelling and shocking revelations had me breathless, and as chilled as Idless' freezing, haunted woods' Francesca May, Sunday Times bestselling author of Wild and Wicked Things
'Dark and terrifying, this is an insidious tale that will burrow deeper beneath your skin with each turned page' Philip Fracassi, USA Today bestselling author of Boys in the Valley and The Autumm Springs Retirement Home Massacre
