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.

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

This book is a masterclass in unrelenting tension. I don't think I took a decent breath from the moment I started reading . . . 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.

Dark is When the Devil Comes is a nail-biting mystery that keeps you guessing and gasping right to the very end! Pearce plumbs the depths of psychological torment for a truly upsetting mindf*ck: You never know what is real and what is just in your head, but always the stomach-churning assurance that things are gonna get worse at the hands of one of horror literature's most chilling psychos. I loved it!
