About this ebook

This book contains a collection of original short stories written by Chris J Mitchell. They are set in the Victorian period and have been strongly influenced by the Victorian style of ghost story telling.

The longest of the short stories, Taylor Sage, does however differ from that of a Victorian ghost story and its style and influences lie more in the modern horror genre.

The short stories contained in this book, Angelus Letum - In The Shadow of Emotions - Scribe - The Return - There Were Rumours and Taylor Sage. Can be downloaded separately from the Google Play Store.

The Return is also available to download for free.

The ideas behind all these short stories are excellent - they are exceptionally imagined and do indeed hark back to the Victorian style, evocative of A. Bierce and M.R James.....but. A lot of the effect is somewhat spoilt by the more modern phraseology that doesn't sit well with the era in which the stories are set and I personally find some of the stories slow moving due to redundant step by step description of character movement. Still highly original tales and enjoyable to read.

About the author

Chris J Mitchell, was born and raised in London. Since he was young he has had a passion for writing and at school greatly enjoyed writing fictional stories of mystery, intrigue and action. In his childhood he met with a serious accident at the age of about eight and because of this he developed agoraphobia.

This experience affected his view on writing and how emotions, human behaviour and habits greatly affect and alter logical and rational situations.

He graduated from University in Manchester where he studied film and wrote his dissertation on Vaudevilles influence on early comedic movies and how great performers such as the Marx Brothers, Harold Lloyd or Laurel and Hardy brought their craft to the big screen. He has a keen interest in movies and literature and enjoys books and stories with intrigue, mystery and the unknown. 

He specifically enjoys ghost stories and his fictional writing has been influenced by classic ghost stories from the Victorian era. He has written several ghost stories in classic Victorian style that have been well received.
