Darker Roast: A Coffee Shop-Inspired Paranormal Anthology

Some places serve more than coffee.A quiet café tucked down a dark and narrow side street. A late-night tea shop where the lights never seem to go out and the backroom is always reserved. A barista who can deliver a look into your future along with your drink order. Somewhere between the steam rising from a mug and the hush of whispered conversations, the ordinary world slips just a little… and something paranormal seeps in.In the fourteen stories featured in this collection, the familiar comfort of a coffee shop intersects with the paranormal. Ghosts and spirits, witches and werewolves, cryptids and more lurk within these pages.Cozy, eerie, romantic, mysterious, humorous, and thrilling—this anthology has it all.Featured stories include:"e;Solstice Sweethearts"e; by Dan Slavin"e;All Hallows' Tea"e; by Rachel Luann Strayer"e;Calypso's Claim"e; by Shawn Galvin"e;The Cauldron's Cure"e; by Stacy Shaffer"e;After Closing"e; by Cora Laine"e;The Happenstance Café"e; by Rosalie Spielman"e;The Mothman Doesn't Like Coffee"e; by Mykala Patel"e;Brewed & Bewitched"e; by J.L.
