About Stories From the Shadows - Horror: Embrace the darkness

An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories. But where do these ideas and stories come from? A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form? An inspiration from a Muse? A suggestion from an everyday event? Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work. They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you. 1 - Stories From the Shadows - Horror - An Introduction 2 - A Pastoral Horror by Arthur Conan Doyle 3 - The Color Out of Space by H P Lovecraft 4 - The Kit Bag by Algernon Blackwood 5 - The Mass of Shadows by Anatole France 6 - August Heat by W F Harvey 7 - The Horror of Abbot's Grange by Frederick Cowles 8 - Reality or Delusion by Mrs Ellen Wood 9 - The Sumach by Ulric Daubeny 10 - Caterpillars by E F Benson 11 - The Waxworks by A M Burrage 12 - The Coffin Merchant by Richard Middleton 13 - The Bride by M P Shiel 14 - The Man with the Roller by E G Swain 15 - The Tattooed Leg by John Chilton
