They: Two Home Invasion Novellas
Two home invasion novellas, released for the first time as a double feature! Stephen Barnard's 2023 tale, THEY LET THEMSELVES IN, along with a brand new journey into terror, THEY DIDN'T KNOW.
THEY LET THEMSELVES IN
Someone’s been in the house…
David Tobias has an ordinary life: a wife and two kids, a teaching job at the local high school, a lovely house with a pretty garden. But when he’s up on a step ladder fixing a bird box to a tree, he happens to peer down the other side of the fence that marks his property. That’s when he sees something that should not be there, something taken from inside his home.
It’s a mystery how it got there, and there’s no solution forthcoming, but he and his wife Emma manage to convince themselves it’s a one off…
Then it happens again. And again. Each new discovery more disturbing than the last. Seemingly taunted by an unknown intruder, the lives of the Tobias family begin to unravel…
THEY DIDN’T KNOW
What do you do when the last guest won’t leave?
Gary and Trisha Naylor allow their son, Dom, to have a 19th birthday party at the house. It passes without too much incident and all that’s left is to ensure that everyone leaves safely and happily. Except, that isn’t so easy when the final guest doesn’t want to go. He has an agenda, and he’ll do whatever it takes to achieve his aims, regardless of who gets in his way.
Who will survive the night?
