Three German Horror Stories: Drei Deutsche Horror Geschichten
Three German Horror Stories (Drei Deutsche Horrorgeschichten)
by Andreas Wollnitz
Now available in English for the first time - the haunting debut of a bold new voice in German horror fiction.
Step into a world where horror is quiet, psychological, and deeply personal. In this unforgettable trio of tales from debut German author Andreas Wollnitz, everyday reality slips into the uncanny - and terror comes not with screams, but with silence.
Story 1 - The Boy (in the White Nightshirt) (Der Junge (im wei en Nachthemd))
When young Leon visits his dying grandfather, a strange boy appears in the hospital corridor - pale, silent, and unsettling. As the old man begins to recount his own haunting encounters with the same mysterious figure during and after the war, Leon realizes he's not just witnessing a story - he's part of it. A quiet tale of grief, death, and the legacy of a childhood shaped by war.
Story 2 - The House (Where the Horror Lives) (Das Haus (in dem das Grauen lebt))
A widowed father moves into an abandoned villa to rebuild a life with his children after a tragic house fire. But the dilapidated old mansion holds memories of its own - and something else, watching them from the shadows. With subtle psychological horror and slow-building dread, this story asks what it means to survive... and what price the past demands.
Story 3 - The Mudflats (Night of Terror) (Das Watt (Nacht des Grauens))
Six friends set out on a sailing trip in the North Sea, only to get stranded in the tidal flats. As night falls and the tide recedes, they realize they're not alone. Something ancient, hungry, and engineered waits beneath the surface - and it's not interested in letting them leave. A Lovecraftian nightmare rooted in Cold War secrets.
Perfect for readers of:
Shirley Jackson, Stephen King (early works), and Thomas Olde Heuvelt. If you enjoy creeping dread, European settings, and horror that's more unsettling than gory, this collection is for you.
From debut German author Andreas Wollnitz, these stories are steeped in the atmosphere of a country still haunted by its own past. Quietly psychological, often tragic, and always unsettling, Three German Horror Stories proves that horror doesn't have to shout - it just has to linger.
