Daisy Pearce's New Horror Masterpiece: Dark Is When The Devil Comes

I'm always on the lookout for a new horror book or author and during a search I found Daisy Pearce's, "Something In the Walls," published in 2025.

I really enjoyed the story and her writing style so I was pumped when I discovered her newest book, ""Dark Is When the Devil Comes," was about to be released.

It did not disappoint. I read it in a few days.

Horror DNA writes, "Pearce returns with Dark is When the Devil Comes, which is both an absolute banger and a total creep-fest. If you are after a horror story which combines thriller with supernatural ambiguity whilst being a compulsive page-turner, then look no further than Dark is When the Devil Comes, as few do it better."

Bravo, Daisy!

The only problem I have with Daisy is I have to wait till next year for her newest tale.

Open thread.

Trump Doesn’t Let Troop Deaths Keep Him From Golfing

Donald Trump’s unnecessary war with Iran has claimed the lives of two more Americans, with a third missing, as I write this on Saturday afternoon.

The New York Times reported about this latest development in President Peace Prize’s war: “The deaths could prompt fierce retaliation, which would come on top of an already intensifying conflict. The United States and Iran expanded the scope and intensity of their attacks overnight, striking critical infrastructure sites that included a power station and water facilities, with no sign of an off-ramp to end the fighting.”

Funny, it was just two weeks ago that Trump declared Iran was “totally defeated militarily.” He made the same claim in April. But maybe Grampa Trump is having trouble remembering which killing spree is which in his “pro-life” administration.
