The Bells of Blackenhow
Every midnight, the ruined chapel overlooking a remote moor rings its bell exactly thirteen times—despite the tower having collapsed over a century ago.
A university historian decides to spend the night inside, to expose the legend as superstition. Instead, each toll strips away a year of his memory. By the twelfth bell he can no longer remember why he came.
The Suit
An astronaut is cast adrift in space after becoming untethered from his spacecraft. He is told to rely on his newly designed space suit that should carry him to safety.
The suit is designed using bio technology and is pretty much fully autonomous.
It doesn’t want the astronaut to suffer a long drawn-out death and is preparing to pull the plug!
Faces in the Fog
A small coastal village is frequently engulfed by thick sea fog. The locals have one strict rule: never acknowledge anyone you meet in the mist unless they speak your full name.
When a newcomer ignores the warning, familiar faces begin appearing in the fog—dead relatives, childhood friends, even himself.
What readers are saying...
Thought-Provoking and Unsettling
★★★★★
“Some stories stay with you long after you’ve finished reading, and these certainly do. I loved the way the author explores the darker corners of the human mind while weaving in ideas that make you question what is real and what might lie beyond our understanding. Atmospheric, imaginative and genuinely unsettling in places. I found myself thinking about the stories days later.”

Psychological Suspense
★★★★★
“Brilliantly written short stories with a real sense of tension and unease. I particularly enjoyed the psychological elements, where you’re never quite sure whether you can trust what you’re seeing or what the characters believe to be true. The twists are satisfying without feeling forced, and there’s a wonderfully dark edge to the writing. Definitely worth reading if you enjoy stories that get under your skin.”

Metaphysical and Mysterious
★★★★★
“These stories appeal to anyone who enjoys exploring the mysteries of existence, consciousness and the unknown. There’s a fascinating blend of psychological depth and metaphysical speculation that makes each story feel like a journey into unfamiliar territory. I appreciated that the author leaves room for interpretation rather than explaining everything away. Thought-provoking, original and refreshingly different.”

Engaging and Memorable
★★★★★
“I’m a big fan of short stories that manage to create an entire world in just a few pages, and these do exactly that. The writing draws you in quickly, the characters feel convincing, and there’s always an underlying sense that something isn’t quite as it seems. A few of the stories gave me chills, while others left me questioning my own assumptions. I’d happily read more from this author.”
