EARLY PRAISE!
Frank Duffy's prolific output of horror fiction is created from a place of knowledge of the genre with which he writes. He knows what works, along with bringing to the table his invaluable wealth of experience. Duffy writes with great effectiveness in his own unique style and manner, often to the backdrop of authentic societal issues. Like the Italian neo-realism filmmakers of the mid-twentieth century, Duffy shines a much-needed light on these pertinent topics through the medium of entertaining horror fiction.-Trevor Kennedy, editor Phantasmagoria Magazine and author of Bad Dreams and Reflections.
Like prising open a creaking crypt door and slowly descending down wet mossy steps into the unknown, this collection of stories will chill you to your core. You'll be taken on a trip to places where dark creatures dwell by your guide, the talented Frank Duffy.- Shaun McClure, host of the Retrospective Geek Podcast
Frank Duffy's, We Take Them When You're Not Looking is a raw, unflinching dive into the secret corners of our tangled relationships, where every hidden truth feels like it could hit you when you least expect it. His stories mix brutal honesty with a dark, wry humor that makes you wonder if the same messy beauty isn't lurking behind your own carefully guarded smiles. If you're ready to get a little uncomfortable with the way we connect, this book is a must-read that'll leave you both shaken and strangely uplifted.--
Blair Erickson - director and writer of Banshee Chapter.
With a mortician's meticulousness, Frank Duffy's latest collection, We Take Them When You're Not Looking, examines the darker threads linking human (and inhuman) relationships. One can't help but read the author with a suspicion that, of our sordid secrets, he possesses a peculiar prescience-an unsettling awareness of how our habits threaten to unsuture those delicate connections. - Clint Smith, author of The Skeleton Melodies
