Post Mortems

Twenty-Two Tales of Terror Curated by Flitter Mouse Press.


A Victorian girl falls for a siren as she uncovers the truth behind her sister's murder. A discharged military soldier slowly descends into madness upon interacting with a strange Victorian desk bell. A troubled outcast finds the violence he's crafting on an online simulated pro wrestling league is manifesting in the flesh. Carnage ensues when a young woman and her brother stumble into a witch's house while attempting to run from gang violence in 1850's New England. A witch uses bones to glimpse the past and future, hoping to escape the wrath of her village. A grieving daughter bids her mother farewell via a long-held family tradition.

Written by established and emerging authors, these stories offer diverse, fresh, and terrifying perspectives in the style of Victorian Penny Dreadfuls. Whether it's psychological terror, supernatural suspense, or blood-soaked gore, Post Mortems showcases the next generation of horror writers who are sure to keep readers awake at night.
