Some stories never leave you — because they were never just stories. In Footsteps in the Dark: Stories of the Bizarre and Unusual, acclaimed writer Carlo Armenise curates a spine-tingling collection of real-world experiences that defy logic, unsettle the soul, and whisper to that part of the mind that never fully rests.
These aren’t tales of fantasy. They are fragments of memory, shared moments, and quiet revelations from those who’ve encountered something they can’t explain — and never forgot.
True Accounts from the Edge of the Unknown
From inexplicable apparitions to chilling premonitions, Armenise guides readers through accounts that exist just outside the reach of science — yet feel disturbingly close to home. Categorized by themes like Ghosts, Apparitions, Poltergeist Encounters, Animal Spirits, and Psychic Phenomena, the stories span continents and generations, but share one thread: a subtle, eerie sense that something… was there.
But this book isn’t just about what people saw. It’s about how those moments changed them — and what happens when the psyche starts to listen to the things we’re taught to ignore.
Elegantly Written. Relentlessly Unsettling.
Carlo Armenise brings the same emotional acuity and narrative finesse that marked his psychological thrillers (Deceitful Intentions, The Picture Box) into this chilling literary turn. Here, his prose walks a careful line — never sensational, never overstated — but always haunting.
He allows the silence between sentences to speak. And what they say will leave you questioning your grip on the rational world.
A Must-Read for the Quietly Curious
This collection isn’t for horror junkies looking for jump scares. It’s for thinkers. Empaths. Night owls. Those who’ve felt a cold spot in an empty room, a flicker in the mirror, or the dream that felt a little too… remembered.
With a voice both investigative and intimate, Armenise asks readers to lean into discomfort, sit with uncertainty, and decide for themselves: how many coincidences make a truth?
