Black Dog & Other Gothic Tales

By Icy Sedgwick

Black Dog & Other Gothic Tales
AmazonKoboOther Stores

A clerk encounters Black Shuck while taking a shortcut. Young men vie to join a shadowy Order by hunting an ancient being through the streets of Venice. A young man accepts a bet to spend the night in a haunted tube station.

Within these pages, encounter body-swapping mummies, Egyptian princess ghosts, lonely creatures hiding among us,  spectral doubles, and even Death himself.

Let these stories be your guide to the weird, the fantastic, and the downright Gothic…

Reviews of Black Dog & Other Gothic Tales

“Fantastic read. If you’re looking for creepy, well written, short stories, this book has you covered” – 5*

“A perfect collection of eerie gothic tales for a cosy winter’s night. Beautifully written, atmospheric and well plotted… Can’t wait to read more!” – 5*

“Icy is a true original whose fantastic fiction is a meld of folklore, fantasy and Gothic horror. Rather than copy well-worn tropes like sparkly vampires and werewolves, Icy introduces her own pantheon of terrors. Read this and then get all her other books. Original stories crafted in her vibrant prose style. Highly recommended!” – 5*
