Featured Fantasy: Shades—Unconventional Ghost Stories by Sherry D. Ramsey

New Release

Kobo, Smashwords

Ghosts, spirits, spectres, shades…they turn up in almost every culture and society, and these stories form a rich literary tradition that comes with its own set of expectations. But what if we turned some of those expectations upside down?

Follow a slightly different ghostly path in this collection with stories about spirits who help the living and ghosts who need our help; ghostly inhabitants inside computers and unusual shades in a unique community; ghosts seeking solace, ghosts who might be a scam, and a handful of literary Christmas apparitions.

The stories in these pages are more likely to be humorous than horrifying, but they also explore ideas of family, home, and how we find our way in the world, with or without spectral companions. Come along on some haunting adventures with ghostly bagpipers, spirit dogs, beloved authors, and more.

Ex-cop Henry Shore has been Chief Park Ranger at Crater Lake National Park for eight years and he likes his park and his life the way it’s been. Safe. Tranquil. Predictable. But he’s about to be tested in so many ways.

And it can come up onto land.

So Henry, with the help of his wife, Ann; a young paleontologist named Justin; and a band of brave men must not only protect his park and his people from the monster but somehow find where it lives and destroy it…before it can kill again.

When John Miller signs up for the rescue mission to the Proxima Centauri outpost, he expects to find his former lover, Hana, the brilliant physicist behind the invention of near light engines, dead.

Instead he and his team find Hana missing and a large part of the outpost destroyed.

John’s team suspects suicide. John knows Hana would never give up so easily.

John and Hana are very different people. Their relationship was a fluke born of proximity and convenience. But when he discovers her Hail Mary attempt to return to Earth with a dangerous, experimental faster-than-light vessel, he has to follow her.

But it isn’t where Hana has gone that is the real surprise. It’s when …

Vessels damaged, fighting for survival, Hana and John struggle to rebuild the basics of civilization from scratch. They’re in a world where unboiled water or an untreated cut can result in death, and four-legged predators lurk in the trees. But the greatest threats to Hana and John are almost human.

In the darkness between two dying worlds, trust is the most dangerous magic of all.

Katrina never expected to see Evren Avery again. Two years ago, she sealed the barrier between the Vales and the Miragelands, trapping herself in a realm of wraiths and ruins, paying for her sins in blood and isolation. She’s survived on wit, determination, and the memory of one stolen moment—the night she knelt before a king in his empty castle and made a devil’s bargain.

One drop of blood for another.

But when Evren appears in the underground city where she’s barely clinging to survival, Katrina realizes the deal was never finished. The worlds are unraveling. Magic is failing. And the Ruthless King has come to collect—not her death, but her help.

Together, they must journey into the heart of a dying realm, facing wraiths that hunger for magic, prophecies that threaten to destroy them both, and a connection that should have ended with that first exchange of blood.

As Katrina’s dormant power awakens into something new and frightening, she’s forced to confront the truth she’s been running from: some debts can’t be paid with punishment. Some wounds can only be healed by the one person who knows exactly how deep they go.

But trust is a luxury Katrina can’t afford. Not when betrayal lurks in every shadow. Not when saving two worlds might mean losing the one person who’s ever chosen her. Not when the price of her power could be everything—including the king who’s determined to keep her by his side.

A sweeping fantasy romance about redemption, second chances, and the dangerous magic of letting someone see the truth of your heart.
