Enter the realm of monsters, ghosts, and cosmic horrors with the first-ever collection from the author Kyle Carpenter, Creeping Shadows. This collection includes three short stories that will warp your reality and send you shivers.

In "Child of the World Serpent," a team of divers, led by renowned Marine Biologist Tyler Cuttingham, hunt down their friend last seen in a small village off the Norwegian coast. There, they find wild rumors of sea monsters accompanied by more disappearances. Only time will tell whether they find their missing friend or if they will meet the same fate.

In the Grimdark Fantasy story, "Oathbreakers Lament," a paladin must stand trial after he is tricked into breaking his vow of celibacy. The jury is all but one-sided and out for blood, but he has an ace in case anything gets ugly.

The tale of "Odd Job" follows a broke college student who struck it big when they found a gig house-sitting an old, uninhabited farmhouse right outside of town. Though the rumors around town were that it was haunted, college doesn't pay for itself.
