ATLANTA, GEORGIA - There are books you read. And there are books that you read. Carlo Armenise’s masterfully written collection, Footsteps in the Dark: Stories of the Bizarre and Unusual, is the latter hypnotic, unsettling, and altogether irresistible volume that burrows into your subconscious and lingers long after the final page.
Now published by Author’s Tranquility Press, Footsteps in the Dark doesn’t simply entertain, it haunts. From ghostly apparitions to psychological unraveling, from the supernatural to the simple sinister, this eight-story collection delivers a dose of darkness for every brand of thrill-seeker.
A Walk on the Wildly Strange Side
Each story is its own corridor, leading to a place where normal rules don’t apply and fate loves a wicked twist.
-
In “A Conversation with Death”, vengeance intertwines with the afterlife in a diner where murder victims speak from beyond.
-
“The Potion” unveils the glittering horror behind eternal youth, fame, and vanity, with a twist even Dorian Gray wouldn’t see coming.
-
“Deadly Dream” turns hatred into a monster you won’t forget — literally.
-
“Best-Laid Plans” explores astral projection gone wrong with breathtaking suspense.
-
And that’s just the first half.
Each tale pulses with atmosphere, morally gray characters, and endings you never see coming — but can’t stop thinking about once they arrive.
Perfect for Fans of the Dark and Disturbing
If you loved The Twilight Zone, Stephen King’s short fiction, or the timeless allure of Alfred Hitchcock’s storytelling, Footsteps in the Dark is your next obsession.
These stories don’t rely on gore or gimmicks. Instead, they wield razor-sharp writing, slow-burning tension, and philosophical undercurrents that examine grief, justice, greed, and fear. Armenise knows just when to lull you into a false sense of security — and just when to tear it apart.
