Dark Moon Tales and Other Delights: Book Launch of short stories, October 2024

Please join us from 5.30 to 7 pm on 29th October 2024 at The Nomads Tent for the launch of two books of fascinating short stories.

Spooky and mysterious matters have not often concerned us at The Nomads Tent but this Autumn, we present ‘Dark Moon Rises’, a book of frights and other stories designed to disturb your sleep by Amaris Chase and ‘Artefact’, an anthology of short stories by various short story authors.

Refreshments will be served and we will be joined by authors Amaris Chase, Andrew Donaldson and Rosalind Newton.

DARK MOON TALES

You don’t find them

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.

Contestants at a lonely hearts event give answers that may carry a bite, and the rites of an arranged marriage weave their own dark bonds beyond the grave ...

Twenty nine original frights seeped in myth and mystery, from the new voice in gothic horror

Praise for Amaris Chase:

‘Classic spooky horror’ - Five Stars

‘Really caught my breath’ - Goodreads reviewer

About the author

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.

ARTEFACT

A book of short stories from ancient myths and Roman treasures, lost loves and haunted relics, to historical objects reimagined in fiction, memoir and poetry.
