The city.


Noisy, crowded, and ever in motion, the city can be more than a setting-it can be a character, as nuanced and as fickle as a human being, with as many traits and quirks as the best mapped-out characters. The city can be the ever-present and constant companion (or foe) to the protagonist and antagonist alike.


Winter in the City: A Collection of Dark Speculative Fiction is an anthology of dark speculative fiction tales set in 18 cities around the world during the bleak-sometimes harsh-season of winter.

  • In Paris a vagrant artist confronts a terrible truth while traveling across a frozen Seine and the well-walked paths of l'empire de la Mort...
  • Children depart on a mystical quest to find their parents among the icy tombs of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem...
  • In the snow-begotten slums of Manila, a young fighter must disobey her family and society to finally find freedom...
  • The white-out conditions in Brooklyn are not nearly as dangerous as deals made in blood and bone...
