Wanderings - A Collection of Six Short Stories
Six short stories blending surrealism and paranormal horror from Kenneth G Bennett.
Bennett explores the boundary between normal life and supernatural intrusion across six distinct narratives. The settings range from natural landscapes like Yellowstone to confined spaces such as slaughterhouses and isolated islands. Each story uses a specific element, such as a magical book or a hiking trail, to trigger eerie events. The collection avoids traditional ghost stories in favor of surreal and paranormal bedlam. This approach creates a varied reading experience where the horror emerges from unexpected places. The author focuses on delivering immediate tension rather than deep historical context. The structure allows readers to engage with each tale independently while maintaining a cohesive tone of unease throughout the volume.
Published in April 2022 by Wild Rose Press, this collection sits within the modern landscape of American horror fiction. It reflects a contemporary interest in short-form supernatural tales that blend everyday locations with strange occurrences. The work contributes to the ongoing tradition of gothic and eerie storytelling found in independent presses.
