Shadow Bound: A Gothic Quartet Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 4 ratings

Here in one place are four gothic horrors from the pens of writers Stephanie Ellis and Alyson Faye. From the grime and misery of London’s East End in Ellis’ Asylum of Shadows and The Face Collector to the supernatural darkness of rural England in Faye’s Night of the Rider and When Dead Eyes Weep, you will experience the chill that only this branch of literature can give.

Asylum of Shadows is brutal and horrific, and a page-turner – Steve Stred, Kendall Reviews

Night of the Rider: Intense, dark and description-rich … This supernatural and gothic tale hits every sweet spot – Deborah Sheldon, author of Body Farm Z.

    Authors Stephanie Ellis and Alyson Faye bring their passion for the gothic to four tales of dark literature. Each story is perfectly paced and timeless, blending the atmospheric dread of classic gothic literature with a modern sensibility. All the stories were outstanding, but Ellis's "The Face Collector" was my favorite with an ending that stuck with me well after reading the final sentence. SHADOW BOUND is a gift for fans of gothic horror delivered by two writers who are at the top of their game.

    This is a slim volume of four gothic tales of horror. Two tales each by Stephanie Ellis and Alyson Faye gives you the dark and brooding feelings of dread you come to expect from the writings of these amazing authors. The total book is 80 gages so it’s a fantastic day read for lovers of the genre. Grim and haunting, you will wish each story could just go on longer.

    I’m adding that I gave 4 stars only because these are 4 separate short stories and I had to average it out. Short stories either in anthologies or even this setting are very difficult to review. Each story was amazing!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Unpredictable.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 10, 2020
    This quartet of short stories chillingly plays out four Victorian manuscripts, each one creating a different atmosphere.
    The first two,' Asylum of Shadows' and The Face Collector' by Stephanie Ellis, are set in a dark environment of criminality, with morbid twists and turns. The second two 'Night of the Rider' and 'When Dead Eyes Weep' by Alyson Faye, are set in family homes, one in a country house, one in a Victorian town house. Lives have to be sacrificed in strange ways. These stories are intriguing and unpredictable. An excellent read.
