Moonsleep and Other Stories

Dark fantasy. Quirky horror. Very strange things happen when the ordinary world goes wrong. Step into a collection of darkly comic, wonderfully unsettling tales where the bizarre is never far away—and the things lurking in the shadows may be stranger than anything you imagined. A private investigator searches for his client’s missing stepdaughter through a dieselpunk Los Angeles, while carefully concealing secrets of his own. A middle-aged recluse has a very particular fear of teenage girls. And there may be more to his phobia than anyone suspects. In medieval England, every full moon brings an unsettling mystery: all the men and boys fall into a deep sleep. What exactly are the women doing while they sleep? One young boy and his alchemist master are determined to find out. And somewhere between history and the supernatural, Charlotte Brontë faces an offer that might come from somewhere considerably darker than the literary world. Eerie, eccentric and occasionally disturbing, Moonsleep and Other Stories is a collection for readers who like their fantasy strange, their horror playful, and their dark humour just a little bit twisted. “Each story is a great readerly snack, and together, they make for a lovely afternoon or weekend escape. I’m so impressed at this collection, for the creativity not only in each individual story but also in the overall package. Quality work.” “An enjoyable collection that does not have to be read through in one go, this will appeal to anyone who enjoys a bit of the eerie and spooky.” Enter the strange side of the world.
