Katie Marie Robinson-Sherlock

If you love horror that lingers long after the last page, quiet dread, uncanny twists, and unsettling what-ifs, then step into the world of my short fiction. Over the years, I’ve been honoured to have stories published across a range of anthologies and collections. Each tale is a little door into darkness… and you only need to open one.

A Few Horror-Tinged Stories to Haunt Your Shelf

• Up the Mountainside published in Pocket Full of Posies Shadow Children. A phone call, a child’s whisper, and a burned-out cabin. Grief, memory and fear collide when the protagonist returns to a desolate place that once felt like home.
• The House on Maple Drive published in Horrific Tales Volume One. Paranormal investigators expecting ghosts soon discover something far darker hiding behind the polite façade of an old house. Not all hauntings behave how you expect.
• Huxley Woods published in Frost Zone Stories Book One. A solitary warden patrolling an isolated nature reserve must confront more than wild animals lurking in the mist. Sometimes the real monsters are what we don’t see.
• They Came from Below published in Behind the Shadows II. Time stops and strange creatures emerge from the earth. When reality fractures, how do you outrun what’s beneath you?
• Stella published in Darkness Screams Howling Deep. A dog from a shelter… but something about it feels off. Sometimes the thing you bring home is more than it seems.

And that’s only the beginning.

My work also appears in award winning collections like The HorrorZine’s Book of Ghost Stories, Shadows Beneath the Surface, Water: Selkies, Sirens & Sea Monsters, and more each anthology offering its own flavour of dread, mystery, or the uncanny.
