DM Siciliano is a lover of all things creative. From the moment she could speak, growing up in Massachusetts, she had a passion for flair and drama, putting on concerts for anyone who was even remotely interested (and even for those who were not). A storyteller by nature, she first pursued her young dream of becoming a singing diva while living in Arizona. She soon found that stage life wasn’t the only form of storytelling she craved, so she dropped the mic and picked up a pencil instead. She still hasn’t given up on her diva-ness, and hopes her pencil stays as sharp as her tongue.

A dark sense of humor and curiosity for haunted houses and things out of the ordinary led her down the path of completing her first novel, Inside. Several other projects are constantly floating around in her head and her laptop daily, and sometimes keeping her up much too late at night. Occasionally, those projects are so dark and twisted, she needs to leave a nightlight on.

What is this book about?
Nine haunting short stories from the author who brought you Inside, Under Another Sun, and In Between come together in this collection about the human condition: fears, family, love, and death.

  • A girl who feels invisible finally faces her worst fear on her sixteenth birthday and hastily makes a dark deal.
  • An old man returns to the same place every year on the anniversary of his wife’s death to have one last moonlit dance with her.
  • A woman’s health concerns are ignored, which leads to global chaos.
