Shivers in the Dark is a chilling collection of horror stories that taps into the primal fears and supernatural undercurrents embedded in cultural, psychological, and mythological depths.
The anthology opens with W.J. Manares' Burnt Umber, where a demonic chocolatier, Beelzebub masquerading as Mr. Marco Warren, ensnares the souls of innocent townsfolk through his enchanted, soul-devouring confections.
Alyssum E. Sinclair's My House in Las Piñas explores personal trauma and spiritual horror in a semi-autobiographical narrative.
Shailendra Karki's The Haunted Shadows of Laagan shifts the focus to Kathmandu, where young Rohan is haunted by ghosts representing his inner fears-confrontation, self-doubt, and rage.
The story climaxes in a communal act of courage as Rohan and his friends face a greater collective fear, BhayankarKhycha, symbolizing societal anxiety. It's a rare horror tale that ends with empowerment rather than defeat.
Maekawa Kirin's Behind You and Daily Rations depict dystopian realities where light becomes a lethal taboo, and survival twists morality beyond recognition.
Author John Drudge had written a story from Canada.
In Daily Rations, Kirin returns with a post-apocalyptic survival story that lures readers into a grotesque twist. A protagonist searching for food discovers a couple offering suspicious hospitality.
An essay on Black magic by Debajyoti Gupta which deals with the present practice of black magic in the village called Mayong, a village in Assam, India, is known as the Black Magic Capital due to its long history of magical practices and folklore.
Finally, ShernazWadia'sOminous Craving traverses the darkest corners of obsession and desperation. Together, these stories explore the horror of what lies within and beyond-the spectral, the psychological, and the societal. Shivers in the Dark is not just an anthology of ghost stories-it is a mirror reflecting our deepest anxieties and the lengths we go to confront or escape them.
