Footsteps in the Dark

Footsteps in the Dark was a creepy collection of short stories from the three-time Reedsy winner, Joshua G. J. Insole.

"In this collection of short stories, a woman defends house and husband from the home’s eight-legged inhabitants. Two strangers discuss music’s finer points as cannibals try to break into their car. A gender-reveal party goes off the rails as the true nature of the infant comes to light. Thirteen women gather at night to right the wrongs of society. A mother takes shelter in the family treehouse as the world ends around her."

To say these stories were frightening is to say the least. What was fun about these stories is how modern some of the premises were. For instance, the gender reveal party one was a horrifying, yet brilliant take on how dangerous gender-reveals can be in these trying times. I also loved how there were a lot of strong women taking charge in these stories whether it was trying to protect their loved ones from weird sci-fi creatures or trying to survive in a havoc wreaked world.

For anyone looking to immerse themselves in a fright-filled, refreshing horror take on short stories, I highly recommend diving into Footsteps in the Dark. You won't regret it.

This book was the PERFECT read for a horror/sci-fi/thriller lover like me! It’s a collection of short stories and I 100% recommend if you’re into witches, vampires, aliens, zombies, ghosts, demons, and phobias. Some stories had some gruesome details so no weak tummies for this read! Again loved it from start to finish every story in this collection brought something new to the table and I could definitely play each story in my head like a movie! Intrigued by literally every single one!
