Another collection of horror stories by Joseph A. Cachia has just been published by BDL. In these scary stories the reader enters a world where curiosity, secrets of the past and hidden evil come together.

What seems like child's play or an ordinary event can quickly turn into a terrifying experience that will leave a mark on you for the rest of your life. From ruined houses hiding ancient mysteries to encounters with things that should not be in our world, each story in Il-Misħut Qattus opens a door to the inexplicable.

The events are told from a human perspective and close to the reader where fear does not only come from creatures or wonders, but also from people's choices and their consequences. In these pages of the book you will find children who get too close to cursed places and secrets buried in silence until someone is caught in them.

Il-Misħut Qattus - Stejjer tal-biża' is a collection of horror stories that will leave you reading with your heart racing. Each story builds tension that increases page after page until the reader begins to wonder: what happens when the legends and fears we used to hear about as children might not simply be stories?

This is the fourth book of horror stories published in the last four years by Cachia. The other books are Id-Deffien taċ-Ċimiterju (1923), Ara Ġejja l-Mewt Għalik (1924) and L-Imxajtna (1925).
