Ghosts of the Pantal
Ghosts of the Pantal by Daniel Braum
Rio may be a modern town, but it holds forces much older. Money and privilege can’t save you from your own misdeeds.
Daniel Braum writes short stories that explore the tensions between the psychological and the supernatural. He intentionally adopts the term “strange tales” for his Twilight Zone-like stories in homage to Robert Aickman and the international ambiguities of his work. His stories have appeared in places ranging from The Best Horror of the Year Volume 12 edited by Ellen Datlow to Shivers 8 edited by Richard Chismar along with his own collections. He is the host of the Night Time Logic reading and interview series. Find him at bloodandstardust.wordpress.com.
You can read Ghosts of the Pantal and more in Daniel’s latest collection, Phantom Constellations from Cemetery Dance publishing.
