We Should Have Left Well Enough Alone

A man leaves rehab and tries to make a new life for himself, only to find the past closing in on him. A married couple on holiday have a bizarre encounter with a shiver of sharks. And, on Halloween night, a young boy learns the truth of the world from the strange and unsettling Mr Trueheart.

From London to Baltimore and many places in between, these stories claw through reality to find the horror deep within. In Ronald Malfi’s debut short story collection, the shadows in the dark are ever moving, ever hungry, and the darkness that lurks beneath the surface is never too far away…

We Should Have Left Well Enough Alone is a chilling exploration into the nightmarish corners of the human experience, masterfully woven by a gifted storyteller.
