An Excerpt


The storm done, the waters recede, unearthing a bone in the muck, treasure no one else dares to touch.

Adele snatches it. Adds it to buttons and shells. Shakes them together with a hollow clack. Tosses them into the simmering brew.

PUBLICATION DETAILS

There is darkness in magic and we have given life to that darkness.

Dark Magic is a collection of over two hundred bite-size drabbles of dark fantasy and horror.

Enter a world of curses and creatures, the hideous and the hexed, where love is cruel and victory is tainted. Where gods and demons hold sway over mortals, senses are enticed and spirits ensnared. Angels fall, dragons rise, shadows hide secrets and power comes from blood and bone and death itself.

READER REVIEWS

This was a fantastic purchase! These drabbles are clever and haunting, and it’s easy to pick up and read when you don’t have enough time to invest in a longer story or novel. I’m about halfway through the book at the moment and am excited to go back to it and lose myself in the fantastically spooky atmospheres. Highly recommend!

Wow there’s so much to unpack here! These stories are varied and complex. I’ll admit, up until last year I hadn’t heard of Drabbles before but after venturing ring into the world of micro fiction I’m now obsessed with the ability of these authors to tell complete and compelling stories in 100 words. Amazing!
