Trail of Shadows Blowing minds, one book at a time. Broken Eye Books publishes the weird side of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. We love all speculative fiction, and the blurrier the boundaries, the better.

The duplex cover is only on the paperback edition.

Trail of Shadows, our latest book from Broken Eye Books, by @mythicdelirium.bsky.social, has a duplex cover (which simply means color printing on the interior covers as well). This one showcases a wonderful topological landscape illustration of the astral realm, from the talented Kirsty Greenwood.

This overflowing cornucopia of a StoryBundle explores all the permutations of the horror novella, providing 22 tales of terror penned by 21 authors, ranging from career grand masters to up-and-comers making their debuts. These morsels include 18 standalone novellas and short novels, plus the anthology A Sinister Quartet, which holds four more novellas.

You'll find pulse-pounding thrillers and slow-burning noir, supernatural and psychological terror, narratives mind-bending and straightforward, the bloody and the subtle, even dark humor.

For those who love a good scare, horror can be comfort food, a thrill ride of the soul that's completely under your control, even as the words on the page make you feel shiveringly otherwise. There's fuel here for many an enjoyably sleepless night.
