A Night of Strange Dreams
From dusk through to dawn, A Night of Strange Dreams travels across thirteen centuries, moving through darkness toward an unlikely light. Through myth and monsters, history and folklore, the ancient and the uncomfortably modern. Each dream stranger than the last.
Like all the best dreams, the darkness comes at a price.
“The night is long. Stay until dawn.”
What readers are saying

Louise C., Goodreads
“A bit like falling into someone else’s mind for an evening.”
Lindsay D., Goodreads
“A delightfully moody and atmospheric collection of short stories.”

Meet the author

I’m SF Russell, a writer of historical fantasy and folklore fiction, based in South West England. I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember, and I still have a notebook from my pre-teen years filled with nothing but hundreds of character names. I raid it for inspiration to this day.
A Night of Strange Dreams is my debut collection, and there are more stories waiting in the wings.
