Love traditional, supernatural horror stories? So do we. Tales of ghosts, vampires, and monsters in closets seem to have lost favour with modern horror mags and eZines. Character studies, memoirs, and literary fiction all have their place, but it’s a place far from here. If you’re lost, exit the cemetery, cross those rusty fields (avoiding the scarecrows after dark), and hitch your way to the land of serious. This is the land of make-believe.
Through speculative fiction, ShadeWorks hopes to offer windows into dark lands: gripping works that folks want to take with them on their bus or train rides home, or curl up with on the sofa with some wine or tea (and maybe an extra light on, just in case).
