They find you ...

As the moon rises, the dark night carries a warning. Death walks in many forms.

An ancient wood hides an eternal secret, while in bygone Edinburgh, the sea mist rolls in and the leerie - a lamplighter - hears an unusual whisper in the shadows.

Twenty nine original frights steeped in myth and mystery, from a new voice in gothic horror

Amaris Chase grew up on a healthy diet of Hammer Horror TV and films, Sapphire and Steel and Victorian ghost stories which fuelled her passion for all things supernatural. Her short stories and poetry have been published in numerous anthologies, including Spooky Ambiguous (2022), Festival of Cats (2023), The Wild Night Sky (2023) and Home Ground (2024). Dark Moon Tales is her first short story collection.

She currently lives in Edinburgh where she supports her local bookshops, independent cafes (where her stories are often first crafted), stationery stores, and dabbles in book art and painting.
