SYMBOLIC DEATH: A short Story Collection

A woman finds a Death Curse symbol scratched into the soap scum around her sink. A young boy watches his family fall apart after the death of his father. A butterfly chrysalis hatches, under the watchful eye of a hungry cat, and a teenage grim reaper’s job is made harder by the boy who can see her.

Symbolic Death is a collection of sad, poignant, and darkly funny tales about death. If you like unique points of view, heart breaking moments, and a touch of black humour then you’ll love Helen Vivienne Fletcher’s new short story collection.

Beside the River Styx: A Short Story Collection

A woman finds a body in a park. A girl watches for witches next door. A cruel town turns against a young mother, while a man kills with humour. A teenager tries to keep a library alive in a world where paper crumbles; a cursed piece of jewellery changes necks.

Beside the River Styx brings together nine dark, twisty and comically criminal tales. If you like creepy magic, heart-breakingly human moments, and a touch of black humour, then you’ll love Helen Vivienne Fletcher’s new short story collection.
