SUMMARY:Book Launch Celebration - Jeff Hill - Dark Tendencies and Dirty Secrets 
DESCRIPTION:From the author of Dead Socials comes a new debut short story collection from Jeff Hill titled Dark Tendencies and Dirty Secrets! Come celebrate with Jeff and get your signed copy at Francie & Finch Bookshop on Friday\, August 29th at 5:30!\nAbout the Book:\nWe all have fears. We all have nightmares. What better way to explore those topics than from the safety of your own home. Dark Tendencies and Dirty Secrets is the debut short story collection from Jeff Hill\, author of Dead Socials.: Featuring over 50 stories starring merciless hitmen\, vengeful witches\, angry ghosts\, talking dogs\, apocalyptic survivors\, international pop-stars\, emboldened stalkers\, and even a COVID-era Frankenstein’s monster. Compiled for the first time in one collection\, this volume includes new editions of the author’s previously published tales as well as several never-before-seen stories. Each story is accompanied by an author’s note\, inviting you to peek into the mind of the writer. We all have dark tendencies. We all have dirty secrets.\n\nDisgraced reporter Jed Hollingsworth returns to his hometown of Sarah Falls to document the story of the worst school shooting in the history of the country. Except it’s the people who didn’t survive he’s interviewing\, in preference to those who did. For he’s got no qualms asking the dead to tell their stories. And when a friend reaches out from beyond the grave via social media\, Jed knows there’s more to the story than he could have ever imagined. What dark secrets could possibly link this small town in the Midwest to a haunted mansion in upstate New York where every inhabitant has taken their own lives? This is a scoop to die for. Dead Socials is a supernatural thriller that explores the world of mass media hysteria. Sometimes the most dangerous weapon is a cell phone. And the only thing more terrifying than ghosts are the people who killed them.\n\nAbout the Author:\nJeff Hill is a writer who helps others tell their stories.  Currently pursuing a PhD in Human Sciences and a graduate certificate in personal leadership at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln\, Jeff holds a BS in education\, graduate certificates in the teaching of writing and digital humanities\, and a MA in English\, all from UNL.  He became a college lecturer after teaching high school for a decade and currently serves as a chapter advisor for Phi Delta Theta fraternity.  He has over 100 publications for various literary magazines\, available in print and online.  Jeff is also a faculty member of the Writer’s Hotel writing conference in New York City and a freelance writing tutor and manuscript editor.  His debut novel\, Dead Socials\, and short story collection\, Dark Tendencies and Dirty Secrets were released by Poe Boy Publishing in 2024 and 2025 respectively.  Find him on Instagram\, Twitter/X\, and Patreon as jeffhillwriter.
