Happy Halloween! Today marks the release of They’re Watching, the collaborative novel I wrote alongside my This Is Horror Podcast co-host, Bob Pastorella. We would be honoured if you’d check it out as part of your celebrations. Check out this page for They’re Watching media coverage.
“Michael David Wilson and Bob Pastorella have designed this highly entertaining and fast-moving thriller, an intricate little mind game with an unlikely hero and elements of both mystery and horror that will keep you guessing until the last page.”
S.P. Miskowski, author of I WISH I WAS LIKE YOU
From the hosts of This Is Horror Podcast comes a dark thriller of obsession, paranoia, and voyeurism.
After relocating to a small coastal town, Brian discovers a hole that gazes into his neighbour’s bedroom. Every night she dances and he peeps. Same song, same time, same wild and mesmerising dance. But soon Brian suspects he’s not the only one watching and she’s not the only one being watched.
They’re Watching is The Wicker Man meets Body Double with a splash of Suspiria.
