Short Stories, Long Shadows:

A collection of dark twisted tales


Welcome to Short Stories, Long Shadows, a collection of tales that peers into the bizarre corners of life, death, and everything in between. These are stories about the extraordinary hiding in the mundane, the absurd masquerading as the everyday, and the chaos that ensues when the two collide.

At the heart of this collection is a cast of characters who navigate worlds both familiar and surreal. There’s Dave, the most unremarkable man you’ll ever meet, whose knack for frustrating death itself sparks a cosmic crisis. Then there are Hansel and Gretel, reimagined as scavengers in a dystopian city, leaving breadcrumbs in a digital age. And let’s not forget the Oxford Gazette, a newspaper that knows far too much for its own good—or anyone else’s.
Each story is a window into a world slightly tilted on its axis. Through dry humour, dark twists, and a sprinkle of the absurd, these tales explore what it means to survive, thrive, and occasionally throw a spanner in the universe’s well-oiled machine.
So, grab a cup of tea—or something stronger—and settle in for a journey through shadows both literal and metaphorical. Just don’t be surprised if you find yourself laughing at the darkness. After all, it’s the best way to see what’s really hiding there.
