Description
In an urban landscape brimming with shadows, a collection of voices emerges to reveal the hidden wonders and terrors lurking just beneath the surface. Each story intertwines to craft a haunting tapestry of metropolitan life, where subway stations teem with cryptic hexes and unearthly figures stalk the forgotten alleyways.
The anthology presents a diverse array of tales penned by Femi Sobowale, Caroline Dougherty, Rachel Maggi, and Ilinca Barbacuta, each author bringing their unique lens to urban mythology and the supernatural. Readers will find themselves ensnared by the gripping narratives that explore the rituals buried in the ordinary, revealing a world where the familiar seems to unfurl into something far more extraordinary.
As characters navigate their everyday environments, they encounter the strange and the surreal, breathing life into the forgotten corners of city life. It becomes clear that magic is not just an abstraction; it's woven into the fabric of where they dwell, echoing with the footsteps of past inhabitants and urging modern souls to confront both the haunting and the dazzling that hide just out of sight.
