This newest collection of short horror stories, Your Final Sunset, from SJ Townend, is a petrifying deep-dive into the obscurity which lurks beneath everyday life, where the familiar turns terrifying.
With an eye for the eerie and an unflinching exploration of human pain, Townend's stories are as psychologically haunting as they are horrifying. Her poignant, well-crafted writing exposes the raw, uncomfortable emotions concealed within family dynamics and relationships, and forces the reader to confront the intersection of trauma, fear, and the strange forces that exist just beyond the realm of the normal.
"A kaleidoscope of grief, longing, and the surreal, 'Your Final Sunset' reads like an elegy to the forgotten and the forsaken," - Stuart Conover, Horror Tree & JournalStone Network EIC.
"A tight bundle of dynamite," - Alex Woodroe, Tenebrous Press EIC, author of Whisperwood.
Imagine your final sunset, go on. Visualize your last night on Earth. Now, prepare for the terror that comes when the darkness never ends.
Book is available in 6x9 trade paperback, perfect bound, and eBook.
