Greg Chapman offers us quality over quantity in this short collection that invites the reader into his dark dreamscape of horror ranging from the féerique to the uncomfortably plausible. He holds our trembling hands and guides us through Victorian morgues, present-day country towns, and onto death row to show us his exhibition of dysfunctional families, disgruntled ghosts, insatiable succubi, painful memories, and doomed futures.

** Edited as review is now live on Kendall Reviews! **After recently reading ‘Netherkind’ by Greg Chapman, I found myself floored when he reached out and asked if I’d be interested in reviewing his newest short story collection. ‘Netherkind’ will easily be in my top 10 books of the year and having previously enjoyed everything else I’ve read from Chapman, this was an easy choice.‘The Sublime Darkness’ clocks in with 7 short stories, broken up with some outstanding artwork that Chapman also did.
Great collection of the strange and macabre. I enjoyed all the stories and The Bedlam Stones really stood out above the rest. If your looking for some fun, classic horror then this collection is for you.
