A collection of short stories inspired by stories I used to hear as a child whenever the power went out, now retold in whatever way I find interesting. Some will be paranormal/fantastical in their nature, others set in the mordern world.
I hope these can provide some comfort, entertainment, nostalgia or even inspiration for your own stories.
