Wicked Shadow Whispers Volume 1
About
Seven stories. Two truths:
-Love and terror make strange bedfellows.
-The line between salvation and damnation is heartbreak-thin.
In this haunting anthology, souls are tested, timelines bent, and darkness finds new shape in the ones we love most.
A man is saved by the lover he rejected—now risen from the dead.
A climate-altered future births a misunderstood species… and a monstrous rebellion.
An alien vampire risks everything for redemption.
And a prank in the woods unleashes an ancient, umbral evil.
Demons, ghosts, and ancient gods collide in tales where grief becomes a weapon, redemption costs blood, and nothing stays buried—not even memories.
Set across timelines and genres, these stories carry a common thread:
The past always hunts the present… and sometimes, it wins.
Wicked Shadow Whispers: Beyond the Veil isn’t just a collection—it’s a gauntlet of chills, loss, redemption, and revelation.
Romance. Ruin. Resurrection. Repeat.
Some survive. Some don’t.
You’ve been warned.
Praise for this book
In Wicked Shadow Whispers, Clifton Brown cracks open the veil between worlds and dares readers to peer through. This seven-story anthology dances between grief, love, death, and redemption—boldly asking, What if the ones we love most become the very monsters we fear—or the angels who save us?
From the undead romance of “Dark Pink Carnations” to the chilling apocalyptic tones of “The Z-Word”, Brown masterfully blends genres—sci-fi, supernatural horror, and Afrofuturism—into stories that twist reality and challenge fate.
His characters are raw, layered, and constantly caught between salvation and sacrifice. Whether confronting climate catastrophe or vampire diplomacy (Bloodkin), each tale holds a moral mirror to our world. Highly recommend this book for book clubs and readers who love a good short story
