    "Rio’s tales do more than just entertain and unnerve, they articulate and connect us to some sunken knowledge within, where the shadows are.”--Alan Warner, Booker Prize Nominated Novelist 
    Asian mythology and folk tales crossed with the supernatural horror of Edgar Allan Poe, Henry James, and Arthur Machen! 
    Drawing on local folk tales of vengeful banshees, dusk-dwelling monsters, ghouls hiding in the woods, and other forms of the undead, this collection transports listeners to the darkest abyss where demons forever reside: the human mind. 
    A woman goes missing a week before her wedding. A man recalls his nightmarish encounter with the devil. Letters sent from beyond the grave. A phone call from deceased loved ones. Limbs that have a mind of their own. 
    These ghostly tales of revenge, greed, and desperation writhe and squirm in the dark corners of modern-day Indonesia. Rich in cultural undertones that are uniquely Asian combined with classic horror. These stories are equal parts grotesque and poetic, irreverent and spiritual, unusual and universal.

    Botanist Alfred Homer, ever hopeful and constantly surprised, is invited on a road trip by his parents’ friend, Professor Morgan Bruno, who wants company as he tries to unearth the story of the mysterious poet John Skennen. But this is no ordinary road trip. Alfred and the Professor encounter towns where Black residents speak only in sign language and towns that hold Indigenous Parades; it is a land of house burnings, werewolves, and witches. 
    Complete with Alfred’s drawings of plants both real and implausible, Days by Moonlight is a Dantesque journey taken during the “hour of the wolf,” that time of day when the sun is setting and the traveller can’t tell the difference between dog and wolf. And it asks that perpetual question: how do we know the things we know are real, and what is real anyway?

    BLACK GATE TALES: Fourteen short stories of dread, hope, death and wonder.  
    "Unnerving, beautifully dark and twisted prose...a refreshing but classic voice in horror and fantasy. Much like the rabbit hole, you never know where Paul Draper’s tales will take you and you’re never disappointed." 
    - H.G. Rexon, author of 'Between the Fog and Shadows: A Historical Fantasy' 
    "This collection of disturbingly entertaining tales from the dark side follows in the tradition of Ambrose Bierce, Arthur Machen, HP Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe, but with a sophisticated modern twist. A terrific collection, consistently well-written and full of light, clever touches." 
    - Robert Grossmith, author of 'The Empire of Lights' 
    "Many of his stories border on the macabre, but he presents them in such a way that I find them fascinating. They draw me into worlds I might not otherwise visit." 
    - Jeanne Felfe, author of 'Bridge to Us' 
    "A writer of rare skill, balancing delicate nuance and emotional impact." 
    - Ali Abbas, author of 'Like Clockwork'

    "I’ve become a big fan of the evocative subtlety of Paul’s writing."

When Charles returns to the island to stay with his brooding uncle and his cousin, he discovers more than he bargained for.

As the tides shift, so do the shadows of past sins, luring Charles into a harrowing mystery that threatens to claim him, just as it has countless others before. In this gripping tale of nature’s fury and human frailty, Stevenson explores the depths of obsession, family loyalty, and the perilous allure of the unknown.
