They Move Below (Standalone Suspense, #2)

by Karl Drinkwater

Overview

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. And downstairs in our homes, when we hear the knife drawer rattle in the night. Even our minds and bodies harbour the alien under the skin, the childhood nightmares in our subconscious.

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

In this collection of fifteen scary stories to tell in the dark, Karl Drinkwater sews flesh onto the bones of our worst fears, full of creeping menace that seeps from urban legends and folk horror.

Editorial Reviews

"I find great horror stories tend to sometimes be more about the things you don't know than the things you do. Karl Drinkwater has expertly ended several of the stories with great handfuls of doubt, leaving you guessing and drawing your own conclusions. I thoroughly enjoyed this approach, especially as it makes you think and consider what you have just read before moving onto the next story. Karl has created a collection of very readable stories which give a comprehensive view of the genre. Don't miss out!"

"What impressed me so much, however, is the quality of Karl Drinkwater's prose. He writes with considerable sophistication and an almost urbane style that is so pleasurable to read. I also enjoyed the variety of the stories, with the different voices and perspectives. They Move Below is a vibrant, interesting and frequently unsettling collection that deserves considerable success."

-- Linda's Book Bag

"Chills guaranteed. They Move Below is a great collection of dark tales. Nobody is guaranteed to come through a story unscathed, and there was enough variety in the scenarios that I was able to read through more than one story in a single sitting and still think each new tale felt fresh. Mr Drinkwater has a delightfully warped imagination. Now if you will excuse me it is late and I need to go and turn on all the lights."
