What the Shadows Hide

Have you ever wondered if a simple mirror, in addition to being a symbol of beauty, is also a portal to the Other World?

Would you cross a remote crossroads at night, without feeling fear take over your soul? And if a beautiful woman asked you to take her out, would you stop?

From burnt villages that you pass, will you stop to listen to the wail of lost souls and unjust blood or will you quickly leave?

And if your army brings you to bridges covered in blood, will you cross them or not?

The Shadows return to haunt with 21 stories, through urban myths and legends of our place. Bets on forgotten memories, mansions haunted by death, strange black-clad forms, dead cursed and undead and so much more will "parade" through the gray pages of the book.

The fire in the hearth may have gone out, grandmother's words may have fallen silent, but the stories of the Shadows wander in the dark.

“Stories worthy of the first Shadows. Konstantinos continues to mature as a writer. It takes us on a journey to supernatural settings, where the mystery occupies the first place. Urban legends, traditions and superstitions meet fiction and inspire fear and awe in every reader."

-Maria Burma, writer

"Twenty-one chilling stories that move on the borders of fantasy and reality. A daring combination of folklore tradition and Greek folk horror. Konstantinos Anifantis penetrates the legends of our country, bringing to life stories from the Greek countryside. Creepy and hideously scary. Nice touch, the short story in which I embody the central heroine. Read it with the lights on."

-Vicky Tassiou, administrator and blogger in the Book Fragrances group

“Twenty one legends. Twenty one exciting fantasy stories. Konstantinos Anifantis weaves fantasy with reality, in an anthology that is definitely not for faint-hearted readers".
