Today we are announcing the acquisition of When You Leave I Disappear, a novella by David Niall Wilson…
“A tale that will haunt you long after you’ve finished reading.”
—Ray Garton, author of Live Girls
USA Today bestselling author David Niall Wilson's When You Leave I Disappear is a literary horror novella in which a bestselling author's imposter syndrome draws her into a darker and darker world from which she may never escape.
“David Niall Wilson is one of the horror genre’s best-kept secrets, which is unfortunate because he’s wildly talented and everyone who loves horror fiction should be reading him. His new story, “When You Leave, I Disappear,” an intense thriller of a tale that will haunt you long after you’ve finished reading, is a great place to start. And then go read everything else he’s written. You’ll thank me.”
—Ray Garton, author of Live Girls
“When You Leave I Disappear is a nuanced nested doll of a novella that always compels the reader to second-guess where reality ends and fiction begins, blissfully blurring the lines in between.”
—Clay McLeod Chapman, author of What Kind of Mother
“Prepare to be transported into the world created by Wilson of a writer questioning the success and quality of their novels as they go on a journey to find their authentic voice. Allow the familiar to carry you through, as I did, until the edges of reality begin to morph into something else, something that will hold your attention until the last page.”
—Linda D. Addison, award-winning author, HWA Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, and SFPA Grand Master
“In an impressive display of virtuoso writing, David Niall Wilson marshals stories within stories and doppelganger characterization to explore one writer’s imposter syndrome. When You Leave I Disappear is quite simply a tour de force.”
—Steve Rasnic Tem
