The Gray Chapter: A collection of short fiction from the land and sea

by Paul Carberry

For ten years, international horror bestseller PAUL CARBERRY has brought terror to both the land and sea with his terrifying takes on Newfoundland and its culture. While his novels have gone bestseller in multiple countries, his short fiction has helped elevate the Terror Nova, From the Rock, and Dark Drabbles series.Now for the first time, all that short fiction is collected in THE GRAY CHAPTER alongside brand new material." Spreading Christmas Joy by Paul Carberry is the nightmare scenario of the local traditional practice of Christmas mummering gone wrong, amped up to eleven. Somewhat a seasonal slasher like Black Christmas except you’re getting done in with Nan and Pop, it was creepy as hell and made me half-sick." -- Andrew Marc Rowe, author of The Toth Quadrilogy"No one goes gently on Paul Carberry’s watch, but I would expect nothing less from the acclaimed author." -- Nicole Little, author of Invited (review of Carcharodon)"This is a page turner, a fast paced, adrenaline fuelled read." -- Fiona Cooke Hogan, author of What Happened in Dingle (review of Zombies on the Outbreak)

This book was very interesting and intriguing
Not for the faint of heart
At times it gets pretty brutal & intense
but still has a lot of nail biting stories
I really enjoyed it
All the Newfoundland based stories really kept me pulled in
My favourite has to be the bummer stories and the way the author tells them are incredible
Really enjoyed this read
