Shadow Fabric Mythos - supernatural horror: A dark fantasy collection Kindle Edition

by Mark Cassell (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 out of 5 stars 3 ratings

16 Shadow Fabric mythos stories in one volume!


Includes the best-selling debut novel The Shadow Fabric, all stories from the collection Sinister Stitches, the short stories Ten Minutes Till Deadtime and Claimed, and also a previously unpublished mythos story Dead Lines.

Over 500 pages of absolute terror...


THE SHADOW FABRIC - a supernatural horror novel


Leo remembers little of his past. Desperate for a new life, he snatches up the first job to come along. On his second day he witnesses a murder, and the Shadow Fabric – a malevolent force that controls the darkness – takes the body and vanishes with it.

Determined to get answers, Leo has no idea where to turn. Revelations come in the most unlikely places, and secrets of witchcraft and ancient artefacts unfold. In particular, a device used in the 17th century to extract evil from witches proves key to his discoveries. With these truths long hidden from humankind, his memory unravels. Not only haunted by the past, a sinister presence within the darkness threatens Leo’s existence and he soon doubts everything and everyone...including himself.

The relentless and destructive power of the Shadow Fabric compels Leo to fight not only this growing darkness, but also the entity beneath the Fabric’s surface. While these supernatural horrors rage and his world crumbles, Leo must confront his past before he can embrace his future. But the future may not exist.

SINISTER STITCHES - a collection of short horror stories


Featured stories include:

NEXT ON THE LIST - “I hate changes.”
MIDNIGHT CLAY - ...a mess of black and crimson.
A DEMON’S THREAD - ...campfire stories...
ON THE VINE - Barbs sliced his forearms and the torch flew from his hand.
THE ARTIST AND THE CRONE - Part-flesh, part-shadow, the foul garment writhed on the ground.
DUE SOUTH - He really should’ve driven like most people.
RED, WHITE AND BLACK - ...filth glistened, protruding through torn flesh and broken bone...
INTENSIVE SCARE - It churned like liquid, bubbled, and swept up and into my eyes.
MEETING MUM - Beneath the gleaming skin, those traceries of veins wriggled like a hundred worms.
SEEING IS BELIEVING - When he removed those glasses, I saw his bloodshot eyes.
DISTURBED - The night pressed down. His hands clawed his head, tugged at his hat. “No!”
WELCOME HOME - She’d vanished last night . . . or was it last week?

Each story binds the Shadow Fabric mythos tighter, revealing that everything around us is entwined with a deep-rooted darkness. And sometimes that darkness — the fabric — tears.

TEN MINUTES TILL DEADTIME & CLAIMED


Two stories that prove no matter where you are in the world, the darkness will find you...

DEAD LINES


A previously unpublished short tale of an artist struggling to meet deadlines because the dead have other plans.

Dark fantasy horror stories of demons, devices, and deceit.


What the reviewers are saying about the Shadow Fabric mythos:

"Terrifying. Intense. Brilliant..."


"The Shadow Fabric managed to sate my appetite for intrigue, while stuffing me full of terror..."


"You are taken on a roller coaster ride that reminded me of Stephen King at his best."


"The sheer evilness of the Shadow Fabric and the mechanism that it grew in power was down right scary..."



Mark Cassell's work has been compared with British horror authors such as James Herbert, Clive Barker, Dennis Wheatley, and Brian Lumley. Also, his influences spread over to the US where he admits to having been first inspired by Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Dan Simmons, and H P Lovecraft.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Mark Cassell lives on the south-east coast of the United Kingdom with his wife and many animals. His jobs have included baker, lab technician, driving instructor, actor, and was once a spotlight operator for an Elvis Presley impersonator.

As the author of the best-selling Shadow Fabric mythos, he’s written under several pen names with over 150 stories published in magazines and anthologies. Though his passion remains embedded in dark fantasy and horror, he’s written steampunk, fantasy and sci-fi, and regularly crosses the blurry lines between genres.

Most recently he’s seen publication in the children’s market. In particular, a Would You Rather game book series that has proven popular, and a successful range of pirate activity books. Mark often says how the “Pirate Thing” is a latent interest that will always astonish him.

A proud addition to his bibliography is through Caffeine Nights Publishing with the horror novel, Parasite Crop. Since signing that contract, he remains humbled in the knowledge he now shares the same publisher as one of his literary heroes from the late-1980s, a bygone time when he sneakily read novels at the back of school classrooms.

Incidentally, Mark never got caught.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing
    Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2018
    The Shadow Fabric is back in many forms. Darkness or in this matter shadows, hold many kinds of evil.

    I really enjoyed reading this book. It kept you intrigued. I've really enjoyed reading some of Mark Cassell's work such as Chaos Hall 1.0, Sinister Stitches, and Ten Minutes Till Deadtime. I look forward to reading more of his books such as "Scatter"

    I've heard it said that if you annoy an author, he'll put you in one of his books & kill you. That being the case, I shudder t think how many hikers/campers have p*ssed MC off over the years.
    As for the poor, innocent vine, I think MC needs to get out & do some gardening. The fresh air & sunshine will do him good.
    Really, this is a great anthology offering glimpses into the lives (at least, the untimely ends of them...) of various people who've been unlucky enough to run afoul of the Darkness.

    Must read. It's a great add-on to the flagship Shadow Fabric novel
