Donna doesn't know the old man with the sad face and yet there she is, beating him to death with a shovel. Is suppressed rage making her murder people in horrifying ways, or is she some sort of latent psychopath? She dreams of killing another man, and then another. The more people she kills, the more desperate she becomes to stop herself. Can she find the key and stop herself before she commits yet another gruesome murder?

"I Do Terrible Things is a symphony of extreme horror. Goodrich masterfully draws the reader in and relentlessly turns the screws. Like a repeating melody, each chapter broadens and deepens the main character's profound but subtle descent into madness and violence. By the time I had reached the grand guignol finale I felt as trapped in the tale as she did." - Stephen Kozeniewsk, author of Braineater Jones
"John Goodrich will appeal to fans of Laird Barron, Mary SanGiovanni, and Peter Straub." - Brian Keene
"John Goodrich's new novel, I Do Terrible Things, proves his debut, Hag, was no fluke. Beginning with a terrifying and surreal premise, this story of a woman who's a reluctant, but vicious killer in her dreams ramps up into a thrilling search for the truth that ends in a way that'd make the Greek tragedians wince. Trust me, once you start this one, you aren't going to want to sleep until it's finished." - Bracken MacLeod, author of Come to Dust and 13 Views of the Suicide Woods
