The Eldritch Chronicles: Wrath of the Sentinel & Other Ghost Tales

By Joe Giampaolo

"Giampaolo offers a taut mix of suspense, Gothic dread, and supernatural allure, expertly evoking the eerie elegance of Victorian ghost stories in his latest collection of five short stories... A must-read for fans of Gothic literature and ghostly tales, this collection offers an immersive journey into the uncanny and a poignant exploration of timeless human struggles."

Wrath of the Sentinel is a brand new tale that takes place in London in the foggy and cold autumn of 1848. The hero of this short story is Frederick Wright. He will be aided in this eerie tale by new characters, including the London Chief of Police, Mr. Charles Mortimer, Sergeant O'Reilly, and Father Timothy.

The second brand-new story is set in Rome in 1875 and is titled "Theodore and Augusta's Wedding Journey." Both the protagonist and the narrator are unreliable sources of information in this chilling tale, where time distortion and the supernatural entwine.

In the tradition of beloved Victorian ghost stories, this delightful collection will surely entertain you on a cold winter's night-so settle in, turn the page, and let yourself be drawn into these haunting tales.
