Reader Reviews
"This is a fantastic collection of short stories across a range of genres including horror, folklore and sci-fi each with a supernatural element to the story. Each story is well written and compelling and left me thinking about them afterwards."

"This whole collection touched something deep in me. Each story carried a little spark of magic, grief, and connection. And as always, his notes at the start of each story made it feel like he was sitting across from you, sharing tales by candlelight."
thebookishsorceress, Goodreads Review
"You'll read stories of forest spirits, occult rituals and dark entities, but also of loneliness, inadequacy, finding a home and more.
Each tale comes with an author's note at the beginning that gives lovely insight into Darkfell's thoughts and inspirations behind the stories.
This is truly an eclectic read, some stories being only a page long, but still capturing the essence of what Darkfell wants to portray."
