Postmortem: A Body of Work

by Tracey King

A complete anthology of Tracey King’s terrifying short stories.

Every story leaves something behind. A shadow. A wound. A question you wish you hadn’t asked. A Body of Work gathers every tale from The Restless Dark, In the Bone, and Into the Void of Darkness—along with two new, never‑before‑seen nightmares—into a single, unflinching collection.

Across these pages, bodies remember what minds try to forget. Grief grows teeth. Rooms breathe. The familiar turns feral. Each story is an autopsy of fear, peeling back the quiet horrors that live beneath the skin, haunt memory, and fractures ordinary life.

This is not a retrospective. It’s an exhumation.

Postmortem: A Body of Work is a complete collection of her short stories. A dark, introspective body of work that lingers more like a quiet autopsy than a traditional narrative experience. Each piece explores themes of mortality, identity, and psychological fragility through an almost clinical prose style that heightens the underlying unease. Rather than relying on conventional horror tropes, King leans into slow-building dread and ambiguity, often leaving stories open-ended in a way that invites reflection rather than neat resolution, though some conclude with tragic endings, which I especially appreciate. The collection stands out for its consistency of tone and its unsettling, body-centered imagery, making it a compelling read for fans of literary horror and thought-provoking fiction.
