Description
Events in Edmund Terrace: A Collection of 23 Unsettling Tales
Step into a world where the ordinary collides with the uncanny, where shadows lengthen, and reality is never quite as it seems. This evocative collection of 23 short stories masterfully blends the familiar with the unsettling—everyday moments unravel against a backdrop of creeping dread, nostalgia tinged with unease, and humour laced with the macabre.
From psychological hauntings and inexplicable happenings to dark secrets buried in the past, each tale in Events in Edmund Terrace invites you to question what lies beneath the surface. A man is plagued by an unseen presence in Events in Edmund Terrace, a young woman’s longing for escape leads her into an unexpected darkness in A Love Story, and an outcast finds himself locked in a silent, desperate battle with his only equals—the rats—in The Rat and the Countess.
Whether it's the spectral mist curling through a forgotten graveyard, the weight of a long-lost memory pressing against the present, or the unrelenting grasp of fate on those who dare defy it, these stories remind us that the past is never truly gone, and that fear can take many forms.
Sometimes, the scariest shadows are the ones we cast ourselves.
