My first short story collection, The Small Dark Room of the Soul and Other Stories published thirty years ago made references to the collective fears of those times. Much has happened over the last three decades since then with shifting geopolitics, explosive growth in science, technology, pandemics, school shootings, chaotic weather patterns, homelessness, and all the other problems we still struggle with as we move deeper into the twenty-first century.

The hospital's spotless halls took on an eerie quality during the night shift. The overhead lights flickered sporadically, casting long, unsettling shadows. The persistent scent of antiseptic lingered in the air. The silence was punctuated by the occasional hum of medical machinery and the distant, echoing footsteps of the night staff. Every creak of the floor and soft rustle seemed amplified, creating an unsettling symphony of sounds. Whispers, barely audible, floated through the corridors, adding to the feeling of being watched by unseen eyes.

Stories have always held a sort of magic. From the earliest times to the modern day, stories have had the power to entertain and entrance us, each tale a journey to another world, waiting to happen. Some of these travels are humorous, light affairs, while others are more dramatic. They can be romantic, or wondrous, fantastic or mysterious, and everything in between. And some... are just a little bit different. Some stories are a bit strange, some are perhaps even a little twisted.

Warning: These stories will keep you up late at night, nervously chewing your fingernails, cringing at every little creak of your home. Our reality may not be what you have been led to believe.

You have unlocked the world of Auntie’s Attic and a peculiar set of keys. “Well Kept Storage For Needs Big And Small.” The slogan seems benign. The circumstances, not so much. You’ve received one of the keys. White as bleached bone and slick as lies, your key unlocks a storage room. Inside you’ll find an object that could lead you anywhere, but wherever you go, you cannot return.

Eleven dark, twisted, and ghostly tales. What happens when you kidnap the wrong man, what is the fog that rolls into a small coastal village, and do you care who else gets hurt when you look for justice? Some people love so much that it surpasses even death, others seek revenge or justice, and some are bad eggs who deserve their comeuppance.

A place of myths, rumours and secrets, The Hotel looms over the dark Fens, tall and grey in its Gothic splendour. Built on cursed land, a history of violent death suffuses its very foundations - yet it has a magnetism that is impossible to ignore. Here are the stories of The Hotel: stories of children, mothers, monsters, cult film-makers, thrill-seekers and workers on the night shift, all with their own tales of its strange power, of the horrors of Room 63, and of desperate but failed attempts to escape its seductive pull.

Abigail's road will become more dangerous soon.

When Abigail Anthony is free and wants revenge for being contained in the Shadows house for a long time, she will not stop until her reign of terror is finished. Her thirst for their blood is real and she goes looking for the Smythes who used to live there and sold her haunted house to Tim Terror's haunted house company. When she finds them, she goes on a haunting spree along her road.

Angry she is walking into Tyras's trap to get rid of her. Ty doesn't want a dangerous ghost running around, especially one that's killed before.

Dark humor, dread, and despair—this collection of short stories has it all. Some will make you smile wryly; others will creep you out. All will inspire your dark imaginings.

In this bunch of offbeat stories, the listener will be sucked into a series of abnormal, yet compellingly dark and amusing tales. A sailors tavern gets an unexpected visitor with a message that could save humanity from itself.

A grumpy old man drops devastation in his wake as he leaves behind a trail of deadly flatulence on his trip through the village. The neighbours from hell get neighbours who really are from hell.

Diverse, dark-humored, and deliciously bite-sized: JT Lawrence doesn't disappoint with this brand-new collection of unsettling short stories.
