They Move Below

Standalone Suspense, Book 2

Horror lives in the shadows.

It exists under the Earth's surface in ancient caves; below the vast sea's undulating waves; under dense forest cover; within a storm's thick, rolling clouds; downstairs in our homes, when we hear the knife drawer rattle in the night. Even our minds and bodies harbor the alien under the skin, the childhood nightmares in our subconscious.

In this collection of 15 tales, Karl Drinkwater sews flesh onto the bones of our worst fears whilst revisiting some of horror's classic settings, such as the teen party, the boat in trouble, the thing in the cellar, the haunted museum, the ghost in the machine, and the urban legends that come true.

No one is safe. Darkness hides things, no matter how much we strain our eyes. And sometimes those things are looking back at us.
