Katherine Dempster, 2024

Four individual stories woven together with the shadows that rule the night and hide in the corners of the day. The darkness that shapes our pasts and futures. In Sheltered Shadows Fifteen-year-old Erica thinks her life is over and dreads the changes ahead when her family is forced to move into a rundown inherited home after her parents lose their jobs. Little does she know, the flickering lights within it create shadows that will pull her in and forever scar their lives. Perpetual Past Clara has spent her life walking further away from her past and the horror that the villagers created. The voices of the ones who erased her from history and sullied the memory of her dear mother are always a few steps behind, and they are keen to keep up the lies that hold them as the heroes we know. The Manner of Solitude Mort is a simple man. His house, his land, and his privacy are all he requires for a happy life. When people from the local town decide to bring some community cheer to whom they see as a lonely old man, they cast a deadly shadow over his peace. They soon learn that some people are better left alone. The Sins of One Cayley spent her life dealing with the dark shadows that lived in her grandfather's mind. Shadows that may have been the cause of her mother's death. It isn't until he is on his deathbed that he confides in her what that terror is – and that it's coming for her next. Step into the shadows and see what they hold.
