Where He Can't Find You

"A gory, genuinely frightening genre-blender with enough mystery to keep readers on the hook. They'll want to keep the lights on." ― Booklist

“In this page-turning horror story, everyone is at risk of falling into the Stitcher’s clutches, no matter how careful they are.” ― Kirkus

How far would you go?

The town of Doubtful, IL, has been stalked by a serial killer for decades. His victims are found carved up and sewn back together in horrifying patterns.

Abby Ward knows The Stitcher well. She and her friends created a strict set of rules designed to keep them safe from him.

Then her little sister, Grace, is taken.

The police won’t help. The townspeople lock their doors. Only her closest friends, The Jackrabbits, are willing to join the search for Grace.

But is The Stitcher really a murderer living in their midst? Or does the truth come from somewhere darker… like the abandoned mining tunnels beneath their town?

Dead of Winter is officially live!

I'm a little bit stunned! The Whispering Dead is a nominee in this year's Goodreads Choice Awards for Best Horror.

Votes can be cast at: https://www.goodreads.com/choiceawards/best-horror-books-2021

There are so many brilliant books this year. I'm extremely biased, but I still found it hard to vote for just one.

It's been an amazing experience to see my own book mixed in with authors I've admired for years. The nominees are chosen by readers--by the books they've added and rated--and that means I have you to credit for this. From the bottom of my heart--thank you!

Voting in the first round ends on the 28th. Any votes for The Whispering Dead are very, very appreciated (because of that whole "extremely biased" thing), but a vote for any horror novel is still a gift to the horror community.

Thank you,
Darcy

A Small Gift

I’ve put together something for you: a bonus companion guide to read after Leigh Harker. It goes into all of the secrets and fun surprises in the story, plus bookclub questions.

This document is very, very spoiler-heavy. It’s intended to be read after the novel!

Once you’ve finished Leigh Harker, click here to request your gift. You’ll be emailed a plain text copy and a printable PDF.

I'm incredibly excited (and nervous) to share that The Whispering Dead went live today!

To everyone who pre-ordered the paperback, or has plans to pick up a copy this week, I wanted to express enormous gratitude. First-week bookstore sales have a huge impact on a novel's future, especially since The Whispering Dead is the first in a series. Thank you!

This brilliant photo was sent in by Mark from his Barnes & Noble store in Smithtown, LI:



They stocked so many copies! I have to be honest, I'm a little daunted! I love every kind of bookstore, but I think I'll always have some extra love for Barnes & Noble.

Once again, thank you, dear reader. None of this incredible, wild experience would have been possible without you.

I'll have a few extra updates shortly. Until then, happy reading!
