About this series
First the birds went quiet.
Then the evening sky filled with strange clouds that trapped the heat below.
Now Callum wakes, dripping in sweat. Something has come to his isolated Welsh farm. If he's going to keep his family alive during this single night when all hell breaks loose, he'll have to think fast. And when he sees what he's facing, he suspects even that may not be enough.
Otherworldly creepiness that captures our fear of the unknown. This blast of a book can be read in one nail-biting session.

"Welcome to Ynys Diawl, our beautifully isolated Welsh island. We greet visitors in a special way! What? Oh, true, the English translation is Devil Island, but that's just slander." "Yes, it was the perfect escape for three strangers. Each had their own reasons for visiting. We don't care why anyone comes here! Hey now, who said the locals are violent? Surly, maybe, but we love all types, here." "Mmm, that does look like a storm coming in. A bad 'un. No escape from the island tonight. Escape? I meant … never mind. Come down these steps with me, I have something to show you. Don't look so worried, we don't bite!" An atmospheric folk horror likened to The Wicker Man in Wales.
- They Move Below: Standalone Suspense, #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. 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.
