Kathryn Seelye

Some shadows bloom in spring. Others wait beneath the thawing ground. In 13 Sacred Spring Shadows, women vanish, memories rot, old roads remember, and grief wears the face of devotion. Across thirteen dark and lyrical tales, the ordinary world bends just slightly - enough for blood to seep through the cracks. Blending gothic unease, psychological horror, quiet supernatural dread, and deeply human wounds, these stories explore betrayal, vengeance, memory, hunger, womanhood, and the terrible things people do in the name of love.
Written in a voice both haunting and intimate, 13 Sacred Spring Shadows is for readers who love atmospheric dark fiction where the horror lingers long after the final page. Perfect for fans of literary horror, folk horror, feminine gothic fiction, and slow-burning psychological suspense.
