Description
Who are we if not for the monsters that we keep?
They Hide: Short Stories to Tell in the Dark collects thirteen chilling tales that weave through the shadows, exploring the nature of fear, powerlessness, and control.
- A series of murders in a New England colony
- An untamed beast in pre-revolutionary France
- A mysterious stranger who invades 18th-century Ireland
- A traveling circus that takes more than the price of admission
- A gathering of the Dark, telling tales on the longest night of the year, and more.
Come play with vampires, werewolves, ghosts, zombies, ghouls and the devil himself. Make sure you check under the bed and don’t turn out the lights.
Advance Praise
“The tales in Francesca Maria’s They Hide are brief but intense,
revealing the monsters hidden at the corners of everyday life. The
author’s lifelong love of horror shines through here. Make sure to
check the warnings and read in the daylight lest you become too
unnerved.”
—Christi Nogle, Bram Stoker Award®-nominee and author of
Beulah
“... a solid collection, with stories ranging the full spectrum of
horror, from grim and grisly, to suspenseful, to dark humor, and
one true heartbreaker. All your classic monster tropes are
represented here, and all done really well. ... Whatever your taste in
horror, I’m sure you’ll find something in They Hide that you’ll
enjoy.”
—Ben Monroe, Author of The Seething
“... a humanistic approach to the horror that makes it somehow all
the more terrifying ...That may be the key to her storytelling. The
people and things that populate these tales are relatable, whether
they be monsters or human or somewhere in between ... If you like
short stories that bring new perspectives to things you thought you
already knew, you’ll want to check this collection out.”
—Jay Bechtol, Author of The Great American Coward
“Francesca compiled a fantastic collection full of stories that cover
so many different eras and things that go bump in the night, and it
kept me on my toes from start to finish.”
