Goodreads asked Francesca Maria:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Francesca Maria I've had the idea for THEY HIDE: SHORT STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK for over 20 years. My favorite go-to books are themed, monster anthologies. I have whole books on vampires, werewolves, witches, etc. with various stories told by a multitude of authors. I love seeing how creative and unique each story can be when tasked with the same topic or trope. I always thought, 'what would be my take' on a witch story, a ghost, a haunted house? That's what inspired me to write this collection of short stories. I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could come up with a different take on these well worn and beloved tropes.
