Escape into the dark, mysterious world of gothic literature, where nothing is as it seems.

The unnerving short stories in this gothic anthology keep true intentions hidden and reality in check behind the seemingly normal perspective of the narrator. The characters take the reader to haunted seaside manors, mysterious towns, and grand homes shrouded in secrets as they explore the deceitful nature of the mind and how their pasts affect their futures.

Featured stories and authors include:

"Of Sound Mind" by Caroline Baccene
"Sleep Sound and Wake Nane" by Rosie Beech
"The Owl and the Shrew" by Sarah Bjork
"Wretched Children" by L.M. Copeland
"Ultraviolet Night" by Jesse Ramon Ferreras

Though these stories span genres, including thriller, horror, and fantasy—both historical and contemporary—they all ask the same question: Must you confront the horrors lurking in the shadows, or have they been a part of you all along?
