Description

The woods are known as the place to avoid. What goes in, doesn’t come out. Hazel has been gone from her small hometown of Idless in the English countryside for years. Now returned in the wake of a traumatic divorce and a crumbling personal life, Hazel's simple plan is to lay low at her parents’ vacated house, reconnect with her prickly sister Cathy, and slowly get back on her feet.

Cathy is surprised when Hazel doesn’t show. Their relationship, strained by a fallout half a decade earlier, left Cathy not expecting them to get back into a sisterly rhythm—though she hadn’t counted on Hazel bailing either.

But something isn’t adding up. Other people in town whisper of a threat that can’t be shaken. The woods are known for being restless. And Cathy knows the old saying.

Unrelentingly scary and thrilling, Dark Is When the Devil Comes is an ambitious and chilling novel from acclaimed horror author Daisy Pearce. If you go looking for trouble, you just might find it.
