Publisher's Synopsis
To the West, At the Edge of the World is a dark and captivating collection of stories that blend horror, mystery, and fantasy, weaving together elements of the past and the unknown.
At the heart of this anthology is A Butterfly in the Trenches, a haunting novella set during World War I. Here, a young soldier named Henry discovers an unsettling connection to a magic that offers him fleeting moments of beauty amid the horrors of war. As he grapples with a gift that could either save or destroy him, he must navigate the darkest corners of both the battlefield and his own soul. From The Reindeer's Rest, where an ancient village tradition unravels the thin veil between life and death, to Grandad, where humour and dark secrets collide on a road trip that takes an unexpected turn, each tale is a journey into the strange and the surreal and The Gold, where a man on the edge discovers something terrible and ancient beneath the stones of his home. This collection is a love letter to the eerie, the magical, and the macabre-a tapestry of stories where beauty and terror exist in equal measure. Each story is a window into a world that might be just out of reach, yet intimately familiar. "In Occidenta Sita Est, in Ora Mundi" Situated to the West, at the Edge of the world - Julius Caesar
