Is the disappearance of his teammate truly the work of the legendary fae, or is a sinister force at play?
A brand-new tale of dark fantasy and horror, from the bestselling author of WHAT HIDES WITHIN and SEEING EVIL.

"Parent's writing is so descriptive and flows so nicely, it's hard not to be entranced by his work." - Megan from Bookslayer Reads
"The atmosphere was pretty intense, and by the end my nerve endings were jangling. This is one of the best shorties I've read lately, and I'll be reading more from this author." - Amazon Reviewer
"Parent does a nice job melding a nice atmospheric tale that harkens the Hammer film days with a Lovecraftian horror that seems to make the impossible possible. Unseemly is a quick read that will leave you wanting to discover Parent's back catalog."- Into the Macabre
"This one is recommended to horror enthusiasts looking for something to be read in one setting, yet to be remembered for all of time." - Literary Retreat
A "fast paced and completely enjoyable read with great tension." - The Scary Reviews
"Jason Parent is a talented and promising author with a small but impressive backlog of published titles including the exceptional, skin-creeping novel, Seeing Evil. That book was one of the most impressive novels of 2015 so it comes as no surprise to find that Unseemly is a simultaneously delightful and terrifying read. One of the things that made Seeing Evil such an impressive book was Parent's incredibly strong grasp of character development and character driven action, and the same is true of Unseemly, a fact that's all the more impressive because of the extremely limited amount of space in which he has to build them up." - Shotgun Logic
"[Parent's] writing style easily pulls you into the story, and his descriptions are disturbing because he never holds back, but that is what you expect from the best horror writers. This novella has everything I like in a horror story, especially twists and turns." - Catherine DePasquale, author of The Future Spring
"Unseemly was a quick reading novella that was a fun adventure with some shudder-causing twists." - Char's Horror Corner
"Very creepy in all the right ways. His monsters are unique and original and highly thought-out. I can't say enough about this book. It's like Sherlock Holmes meets the Twilight Zone or Alfred Hitchcock and then crossed over with Tales from the Crypt. If you like old-old-school horror, this one is a must for you." - ErinAl-Mehairi, author of Breathe, Breathe
"I was drawn in instantly by Parent's great storytelling. The characters and setting were delivered wonderfully." - Glenn Rolfe, author of Blood and Rain
"Jason Parent's ability to create a richly detailed world makes this novella pure magic... An engrossing 5 star read that will send fear creeping down your spine." - Horror Maiden
"Highly recommended!" - Horror After Dark
"This novelette is just exceptional... The outworking of the plot is deliciously scary. Definitely rereadable." - The Haunted Reading Room
