John Winter

Dark of the Night

 

This book contains a collection of 10 short stories from John Winter.

Previously only available as individual eBooks, this volume contains:

 

Divided

4.8 out of 5 stars

"Divided is proof that a short story can have razor sharp twists and turns and a solid and satisfying ending. Some lovely use of scenery too. John knows how to ground a reader in the world he's creating. Again, no small feat when it comes to short stories, where you can only borrow a reader's time for a short while. Excellent, highly recommend." - R L Conner

 

The Patron and the Artist

A young boy finds salvation in a magic painting. A dark tale with an unexpected twist.

​

The Secret

4.5 out of 5 stars

The first of the Joe Mancer trilogy to appear in this volume. Here the dead talk, Joe style.

 

The Watch

4.0 out of 5 stars

"Another dark and eerie short from John Winter. Who knew that watches could be haunted? Short and punchy, cracking stuff." - David Graham, espressococo.wordpress.com

 

Sacrifice

The last in the current Joe Mancer series.

 

Lucifer's Redemption

4.5 out of 5 starts

"Wow. Could not stop once I had started ... a brilliant short story." - Deborah Moffat

 

South Cove

4.0 out of 5 stars

"I read this short story yesterday, and here it is the day after and I'm still haunted by this tale. It's just incredibly heart-breaking" - Lisa

 

A Long Way Home

Set in a bleak future where climate change threatens to bring about a new ice age, a father sets out, against the elements, to fetch medicine to save his daughter's life. It doesn't take him long to realise that the storm has a life of its own.

 

The Other Side

A ghost story where the message from the other side isn't quite what you expect.

 

The Fall

One of the bleakest stories in the collection, but has a ray of light at the end.
