Retire In Pieces: Short dark stories

By Colin Devonshire

Step into a world where paradise has teeth and even the quietest corners hide unspeakable darkness.

From the sun-drenched streets of Thailand to the misty villages of England, this chilling anthology delivers eight tales of deception, vengeance, and the monsters lurking behind human smiles. Each story cuts deep with razor-sharp twists-whether it's a widow serving poetic justice in a Bangkok caf , a sentient house hungering for its next victim, or a train ride where passengers learn too late they're already dead.

Included Stories:

"The Good Girl's Guide to Love Bites" - A Thai hotel receptionist with a very particular taste in men."The Last Harvest" - An English village where the soil remembers every sin."The House That Breathed" - A newlywed couple discovers their dream home has a hunger of its own."The Thorn Man" - A ragged figure returns to a village to settle old debts-one stitch at a time.

Perfect for fans of Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected and Thai folk horror, this collection will leave you questioning every kindness, every reflection, and every whisper in the dark.

Praise for Colin Devonshire:
"Deliciously twisted-stories that cling like shadows."
"A master of the gut-punch ending."
