Justitia
Four short stories by Kim Schrewelius exploring fear, justice, and the supernatural.
Schrewelius uses four distinct narratives to probe the boundaries of belief and fear. The work does not rely on jump scares but rather on psychological unease. One story focuses on clown imagery to disrupt comfort. Another deals with alien visitors to create isolation. A third examines the concept of justice through personal reflection. The final tale involves ghosts and motels to question trust. The author aims to make the reader doubt their own sanity. The stories are organized to challenge preconceived notions about what is real. This approach appeals to readers who prefer intellectual horror over visceral gore. The collection remains grounded in the idea that fear often comes from within. Schrewelius does not offer comfort but rather confrontation with the unknown.
Published by Bod in 2018, this work sits within the tradition of psychological horror and supernatural fiction.
