Dark is When the Devil Comes is a feminist kidnap horror thriller - imagine The Last House on Needless Street meets Carrie.
HE'S A KIDNAPPER. BUT SHE'S THE REAL MONSTER . . .
Dark Is When the Devil Comes is the utterly gripping and chilling new novel from acclaimed horror author Daisy Pearce.
'Haunting and propulsive, it had me reading late into the night - and jumping at every shadow' Hannah Whitten, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Foxglove King and Reliquary
Hazel is twenty-seven, and her life is falling apart. As an amateur mycologist - someone who studies mushrooms - Hazel's hobby takes her to some dark places, but following a traumatic divorce she reluctantly finds herself back in her childhood home in the shadow of the sprawling Idless wood. To start rebuilding, she takes the plunge and arranges to meet her estranged sister Cathy; she also bumps into Suzie, an old school friend with whom she shares a dark childhood secret.
But then Hazel meets Andrew, who claims to have rare fungi growing in his old farmhouse. Lured out into the wilderness by curiosity and no little professional ambition, Hazel is trapped by Andrew, shut in the basement with no help for miles around.
As Cathy and Suzie desperately begin the search for her, Hazel starts to feel that something darker and even more terrifying than Andrew resides in that farmhouse. But is the power living in the dark with her or . . . much, much closer.
Discover the brilliantly creepy and twisty new novel from Daisy Pearce, author of Something in the Walls. Part psychological thriller, part horror, it will thrill fans of books such as The Last House on Needless Street by Caitriona Ward, Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough and Home Before Dark by Riley Sager.

'Pearce has written something magical with the capacity of leaving me genuinely frightened. There are scenes in this book I'll never forget' Kristi DeMeester, author of Such a Pretty Smile
'Creepy, emotional, complex, and incredibly atmospheric' Horror Bound

DARK IS WHEN THE DEVIL COMES
Daisy Pearce was born in Cornwall and grew up on a smallholding surrounded by hippies. She read The Hamlyn Book of Horror far too young and has been fascinated with the macabre ever since. Daisy began writing short stories as a teenager and had her first short story 'The Black Prince' published in One Eye Grey magazine. In 2015 'The Silence' won a bursary with The Literary Consultancy and her short story, 'The Brook Witch', was performed on stage at the Small Story Cabaret in Lewes. Daisy's debut novels The Silence and The Missing were published by Thomas & Mercer in 2020. Her third novel Something In The Walls was published in the US in 2025 and will soon be available in the UK. Daisy currently works in a library and hunts ghosts.
