Bleak Midwinter
Volume 1: The Darkest Night
Be wary of the year's darkest night...
The first part of a special double-feature anthology from Quill & Crow Publishing House, Bleak Midwinter: The Darkest Night is a winter horror anthology that encompasses the eerie stillness that can only be found in the dead of winter. Honoring the unsettling atmosphere found in Gothic horror, these ten stories will offer you a different sort of chill down your spine while you're curled up reading by candlelight. One a bit more dreadful.
Featuring my short horror story, The Utburd: a disgraced photographer heads to Lapland seeking a photo of a rare albino reindeer but ends up finding an even more terrifying legend in the depths of the forest.
