Cemetery Dance praises WHEN YOU LEAVE I DISAPPEAR

Cemetery Dance praises When You Leave I Disappear

Cemetery Dance recently published their review of David Niall Wilson‘s forthcoming novella, When You Leave I Disappear.

Read an excerpt of the review below, or read the full review on Cemetery Dance‘s website.

Wilson knows what he’s doing as Bram Stoker winner and USA Today Best-Selling writer. He also was once the president of the Horror Writers Association and CEO of Crossroad Press, so he understands the big picture and it shows in his writing. Juggling stories within stories without losing hold of the many threads like a talented, demented puppeteer is not a simple task, but Wilson watches the characters dance below their strings. Each voice springs to life and sings, resulting in a novella that ranks in the top five reads of 2024. When You Leave I Disappear is a study in layers, realities and unrealities, and the power of writing. When done well, it can breathe life into nothingness — and erase beautiful characters with the click of a button.

Highly recommended.

We are very thankful to Cemetery Dance for this fantastic review of When You Leave I Disappear, available August 20th in eBook and Paperback.
