European Mysteries & Other Dark Tales

By Beatrice King

From the stormy fjords of Norway down to the glittering waters of Albania, and skiing through the snow-covered Alps, European Mysteries & Other Dark Tales explores the uneasy space between adventure and danger. Travel and experience inspire this collection of five stories, and transform breathtaking landscapes and inner storms into tales of suspense, psychological darkness, and survival.

A couple traveling by campervan begins to question whether a stranger shadows their route. A snorkeling expedition takes a sinister turn when a solo traveler realises that other passengers are missing. At a remote bed and breakfast in the Alps, a family holiday ends with a frozen body-and a murderer hiding among them.

Beyond these European travel mysteries, two darker stories center around themes of mental illness. When heartbreak, guilt, and obsession collide, a volatile love triangle pushes three people toward explosive confrontation. Finally, a dark fairytale of two dragons embody opposing forces of mania and depression as their rider struggles to reconcile a pathway forward.
