One feverish night. Eighteen dreams. Thirteen centuries of human experience, arranged in three acts: descent into darkness, deep night, and the slow return of light.
A Night Of Strange Dreams is a debut collection of darkly fantastical short fiction with architecture, intention, and somewhere to go.
From a 9th-century Norse berserker to a 21st-century tale of corporate dread, from the fog of 17th-century seafaring to the fractured intimacy of a modern kitchen. The historical distance is irrelevant. The emotional truth is not.
These are stories where competence offers no protection and what we inherit, whether gift, curse, or blood, cannot be outrun across centuries. The darkness is not decorative. Recurring families and supernatural threads reward attentive readers, while each story stands entirely alone.
Flash fiction sits beside longer, more expansive pieces. Folk horror neighbours psychological intimacy. Every story presents something distinct to engage with critically.
Ideal for readers who enjoy: Angela Carter, Kelly Link, Carmen Maria Machado, Shirley Jackson, Nathan Ballingrud, Karen Russell.
Themes: Folk horror, historical fantasy, transformation, the supernatural bleeding into the ordinary, the weight of the past, what we inherit and cannot escape.
