By Ronald Malfi
We Should Have Left Well Enough Alone by Ronald Malfi digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Twenty haunting stories from the Bram Stoker Award nominated, and bestselling author of Come With Me.

A man leaves rehab and tries to make a new life for himself, only to find the past closing in on him. A married couple on holiday have a bizarre encounter with a shiver of sharks. And, on Halloween night, a young boy learns the truth of the world from the strange and unsettling Mr Trueheart.

In Ronald Malfi’s debut short story collection, the shadows in the dark are ever moving, ever hungry, and the darkness that lurks beneath the surface is never too far away…
