Dark Is When the Devil Comes
Dark Is When the Devil Comes
Unrelentingly scary and thrilling, Dark Is When the Devil Comes is an ambitious and chilling novel from acclaimed horror author Daisy Pearce.
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 her embarrassing divorce and crumbling personal life, her simple plans are to lay low at her parents’ vacated house, reconnect with her prickly sister, Cathy, for the first time in years, and slowly get back on her feet.
Cathy is surprised when Hazel doesn’t show. Their relationship strained from a fallout a decade ago, she didn’t expect 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.
If you go looking for trouble, you just might find it.

Praise for Daisy Pearce
“Pearce is superb – she is relentless, catching your mind and leading you into the dark. A must read.”
“Loved this book. Stephen Kingesque with elements of Donna Tartt’s Secret History and Daniel Handler’s Basic Eight. A great, pacy read – couldn’t put it down.”
“Brilliant brilliant brilliant I absolutely loved this book.”
“Could not put it down. I tore through this book in a few glorious hours one weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. GRIPPING!”
“I loved this book. The protagonist Stella Wiseman is vulnerable and fragile yet her strength is palpable. I found myself really rooting for her the whole way through despite (and possibly because of) her flaws. There’s a surprising supernatural element which is cleverly woven through the story.”
“This was seriously one of the most creepy books I’ve ever read. It was because it was so believable that it made my blood run cold.”
“This story was packed with a punch and a half! I devoured it and was thinking about the story even when I didn’t have the book in my hands… and when that happens, YOU KNOW IT’S GOOD! There were so many characters involved – suspicious, crazy, and vengeful ones, and twists and turns at every chapter.”
“As an avid reader of mystery/thrillers and some horror novels, this is by far one of the best combinations of both I have read for quite some time.”
“Pearce is superb -with twists and turns that keep you running forward into the dark.”
I loved this. I picked it up after enjoying the 1st book so much and wasn’t disappointed. Kept me guessing right up to the bitter end and even with a hectic family life I found I couldn’t put it down. I look forward to the next one and loved the little cameo from The Silence.
