In his debut collection, author Chris Archeske unleashes an octet of relentless horror-darkness summoned by the often-ordinary choices we make and the extraordinarily horrific consequences that follow.

An animal rescue influencer desperately stages his next video-with monstrous results.

A trio of criminals discovers their latest victim has an unlikely defender.

A self-seeking babysitter learns the real reason children should fear their bedroom closets.

These and more polarizing tales of monsters, madness, and murder await.

These stories are not for the faint of heart.

These are The Bad Things We Did.
