Dark Reflections: A Collection by Paul Kane

Our tenth anniversary year is set to be our biggest yet. We published Tales from the Ruins, our first post-apocalyptic anthology, in February, The Second Black Beacon Book of Mystery will be released in July, we're currently taking novel submissions, and we will be opening a submissions window for The Black Beacon Book of Ghost Stories later on. As if all that isn't enough, we can now announce that we're closing the year with a very special release...

Black Beacon Books is proud to inform you that in December we will be publishing the latest collection from one of Britain's most talented and prolific dark fiction authors, Paul Kane. Dark Reflections is a showcase of Paul's short fiction paying homage to his literary influences, including M.R. James, Charles Dickens, William Hope Hodgson, H.P. Lovecraft, Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Edgar Allan Poe.

We'll share more delicious details over the summer, including the reveal of the cover by Greg Chapman and a peek at the foreword by the legendary Kim Newman. In the meantime, if you've been living under a rock (one somehow bigger than Uluru) and haven't yet come across Paul's work, you can learn more about him at https://www.shadow-writer.co.uk/
