Shadows of the Night
Six distinct horror stories spanning centuries and continents.
This collection examines the intersection of history and fear through six separate narratives. The author connects Plymouth and Rome across two centuries to show how darkness persists. Characters face supernatural forces that leave their fates uncertain. Some survive with relief, while others do not. The text avoids modern conveniences in its older settings, grounding the horror in specific times. This approach allows the reader to see how fear changes yet remains constant. The stories do not rely on complex world-building but on immediate, personal encounters with the unknown.
The book sits between Plymouth and Rome, covering the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. Published in 2016 by Lulu.com, it reflects a tradition of regional horror fiction that uses specific locations to ground supernatural events.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Trezise delivers a compelling anthology that prioritizes atmosphere and thematic resonance over sprawling plots. By anchoring six distinct tales in specific historical moments across England and Italy, the author effectively demonstrates how fear remains constant despite changing eras. The structure allows for diverse outcomes, keeping the reader engaged through uncertainty rather than predictable arcs. This approach suits fans of classic ghost stories and psychological horror who enjoy analyzing how past contexts influence present-day anxieties. While not for those seeking lighthearted fun or continuous narratives, it succeeds as a serious examination of darkness.
