A Unique Trilogy

Welcome to Wendlelow, a university town on the border between Shropshire and Wales, where ancient beliefs cast long shadows and the boundary between the ordinary and the supernatural is dangerously thin.

Written by P. A. Sheldon, The Wendlelow Mysteries blends supernatural mystery, folk horror and Gothic storytelling across three volumes: Fireside Horror, Threads of Shadow and A Crow’s Scream.

Twenty Seven Tales One Haunted Legacy

Each book contains nine interconnected tales, giving you the pleasure of a short story alongside the unfolding mystery of a much larger narrative.

Characters return, encounters leave lasting consequences, and seemingly separate events reveal unexpected connections. As you move through the trilogy, each story adds another piece to Wendlelow’s dark history, drawing its inhabitants towards a shared fate.

A fleeting detail may hold a deeper significance. Someone encountered in one tale may have a greater part to play in another. And a mystery’s apparent ending may be only its beginning.

Ghosts, Monsters, Witches and Ancient Gods

Within these pages, restless ghosts linger, monsters haunt the shadows, witches wield dangerous knowledge, and prehistoric gods threaten to stir once more.

Rooted in the unsettling world of British folklore, the stories explore the fear that something ancient survives beneath the familiar landscape. Old customs, mysterious artefacts and half-forgotten warnings become threads in a web of supernatural encounters.

Yet at the heart of the trilogy are its people: those drawn into the mysteries, those determined to understand them, and those who must live with the consequences.
