All Monsters are Human: An Unsettling Collection of Horror Stories - Volume One
Behind every ghost story and creature feature lies a far more terrifying truth: the real monsters wear human faces.
In this chilling debut from first-time author Derrick Smith, ten twisted tales expose the darkest parts of the human soul. From killers hiding in plain sight to obsessions turned deadly, each story invites you to step into a shadowed world where morality unravels and the only thing more terrifying than what lurks in the dark is who.
These aren't just horror stories; they're reflections of ourselves, showing what happens when fear, rage, guilt, and desire take control.
The book is available at Amazon.com.
