The horror is closer than you think. From Bram Stoker Award-winning editor Doug Murano and today's biggest names in dark fiction comes a new vision of terror. It's lurking under the surface. It's waiting around every corner. It's hiding under your bed. it's buried in the backyard. It's whispered, implied, unspoken. This is The Hideous Book of Hidden Horrors.

"Bad Hand Books is a new player on the scene, but established themselves with some serious cred already by way of this anthology, the first release from Murano’s fledgeling indie publisher. Boasting a list of authors rivaling long-standing anthologies from bigger publishers, Murano and his contributors kick off a titanic run of stories including Hailey Piper melding a stalking narrative to the weird feeling someone’s watching you that happens in every empty room, Josh Malerman turning a torture story into a cerebral minefield of trauma and paranoia, and Cina Pelayo with an inspired take on “creature in the attic” gothic horror. Each author brings their own unique concept to the idea of “hidden,” and the result is a collection that knocks you for a loop on almost every page. " -- TOR Nightfire

"This first volume in award-winning Horror editor Murano’s new independent imprint may claim to be hiding its terrors, but in reality, the horrors are on full, nightmarish display, and satisfied readers will eagerly seek out more titles by the authors included here." ~ Library Journal starred review
