Emma Flowers was 15 when she decided to take her own life. Like many things for Emma, her attempt was a failure. But, what she did succeed in was scaring her Mom into moving them to Twin Pines - a quiet town deep in the woods, far away from their troubles. But, there's something stirring beneath Twin Pines' rolling hills and boring main street. After the first night in their new house, a dog is found dead in the street. As the bad things continue, Emma notices something. Her new neighbor Marjorie is at the center of all the problems. To stop her, Emma will need to confront her past and overcome her greatest fears. In a "Stranger Things meets Coraline adventure", My Strange Neighbor shines a light on the monsters sleeping in our shadows. And, as Emma will learn, monsters can't stay asleep forever. Customer Reviews: “Oh. My. God. [My Strange Neighbor] is an absolute masterpiece. I’m gonna need a minute.” “I loved [My Strange Neighbor]. I was so intrigued by it I wanted to hear more." “I loved [My Strange Neighbor] so much. The emotions were so deep and real. It was very moving. I loved being so completely submerged in the story; I was swept along for the ride.”

Hi. My name’s Dan. I’m a #1 Best-Selling Amazon Author and an avid consumer of all things creepy. I have been writing stories my whole life, but only started sharing them with the world during the pandemic when I discovered the NoSleep subreddit. Since then, I have continued to evolve those stories, turning them into full Amazon series, podcasts, and a scary story substack called "Sunday Scaries: Dan DeLuise's Scary Story Club". Currently, I have four series available on Amazon: The Other Place Trilogy (Dark Fantasy), The Witching Hour (Horror Thriller Novellas), Five-Minute Frights (Scary Stories), and Gather Round (A Horror Anthology). In my free time, I like to hike, watch movies, and draw portraits of my cat "Spooky".
