Seolic Tales: Literary Horror and the Legacy of Sheol
The term Sheol (or Seol) originates from Hebrew, appearing in the Bible to denote hell, the abyss, or simply the dwelling place of the dead. We’ve borrowed this word to title this collection of narratives, as each story carries shades of darkness and twists of torment or unease. Whether realist —where “hell is other people”— or fantastical and supernatural, Seolic Tales offers a reading experience where the protagonists confront a conflict known for centuries: humanity’s encounter with its own Hades. This anthology features thirteen sharp-witted short story writers of diverse styles and generations. They approach horror with unflinching suspense and mysterious literary devices. Ghosts and apparitions intrude without warning, alongside unsettling themes that awaken latent fears. Yet, throughout, there is poetry, imagination, emotion, and surprise —beyond the terror they may evoke. The settings and plots are multifaceted, weaving together a world of possibilities, real or imagined, that will astonish readers through uncharted paths.
