This is a collection of short stories; whether horror or fantasy, they will indeed have you wanting more. Some range from the downright horrifying to Stories that make you question how you view things. Enjoy! The grammar is terrible, which I apologize for. Another tip is that the further you read, the better the stories get.

They realize they are trapped... caught between the dangers of the forest and the psychosis of the villagers... with no one but each other to face this bleak and horrifying world.

Short Synopsis Green Unpleasant Land Fog shrouded Victorian London, but not the 1888 we'd recognise. There's a whiff of revolution in the air, not to mention lycanthropy in the shires. As Mr Eiffel's tower nears completion in Hyde Park, famed Egyptologist Sir Percy Tiverton returns with his latest find - a nameless book so mysterious not even the Royal College of Alchemists can decipher its runes. Alexander Faversham is England's foremost champion of derring-do, but his legend is built on sand. Loyal-to-a-fault manservant Bill might know more about his master's heroics than either are letting on. When the nameless book is stolen, Bill's entanglement threatens to bring his carefully constructed façade crashing down. There's something nasty lurking in the shadows and it wants its book back. Who would dare confront the tentacles slithering from the sewers? When the Empire needs a hero, it doesn't always get the one it expects. 80k words Gothic/Cosmic Horror/Alt History
