There'll Be Scary Ghost Stories:
An Inkwells & Anvils Anthology

In 2024 we published our first anthology, a collection of spooky Christmas stories submitted by members of our very own community.  You can purchase your own copy from Amazon at the link below! 

​

Amidst the festive cheer of the Christmas Season, an oft forgotten tradition still exists in the vestiges of our joyous carols: ‘There’ll be scary ghost stories and tales of the glories of Christmases long, long ago’. Scary ghost stories? How does that fit with the caroling and mistletoeing? In the darkest time of the year, when we gather with friends and family to celebrate the Eternal Light entering into the darkness of our world, it's long been a tradition to tell stories of life beyond the grave and souls of long ago. After all, both darkness and light are the two dichotomies of the Christmas season, and it's only fitting we couple reflections on death with the hope of rebirth.

​

Inside the covers of this book you’ll find nine tales to terrorize, spook, and chill your blood. But as with any good horror, there’s also a single pinprick of light. A hope you can reach your hand towards on the darkest day of the year. Nine tales to terrify, and nine tales to reflect. Nine tales to bring hope, and nine tales to turn your back on despair. From a spectral examination to a cowboy’s Christmas prank to terrible presents that just seem to be re-gifted over and over.

So fear not the dark, pull up a chair by the fire, and we’ll see our way through these shadowy days and bright nights. Because after all, There’ll Be Scary Ghost Stories!
