Welcome to Coldwood, a town not unlike H.P. Lovecraft's Arkham - the focal point of strange happenings, of murders, disappearances, of insanity, and degradation. A place where the fabric of reality frays, and nature is perverted beyond recognition. From the visceral psychosis of "A Wolf at the Door", to the labyrinthine terror of "The Maze of Madness", no reader will be left unfulfilled. A.M. Shine has crafted a startling collection of gothic tales that will turn your perception upside down and inside out. He will leave you reeling, yet wanting for more.
Author
A. M. Shine is an author of Literary Horror from the west of Ireland. It was there that at a young age he discovered a passion for classic horror stories, and where he received his Masters in history, before ultimately sharpening his quill to pursue a life devoted to all things literary and macabre. His writing is inspired by the trinity of horror, history, and superstition, and he has tormented, toyed with, and tortured more characters than he will ever confess to. Owing to a fascination with the works of Edgar Allan Poe and his ilk, A. M. Shine’s earlier writings were Gothic in their style and imagination. When his focus turned to novels he refined his craft as an author of Irish horror – stories influenced by his country’s culture, landscape, and language, but which draw their dark atmosphere and eloquence from the Gothic canon of his past. He is represented by John Baker of Bell Lomax Moreton Literary Agency.
