Synopsis

Real Places. Unreal Stories. Welcome to VIRGINIA FANTASTIC

From the barrier islands of the Eastern Shore to historic Richmond, from the misty peaks of the Appalachians to the tree-lined streets of Arlington—discover stories where history collides with wonder, legends awaken, and the Commonwealth reveals its secrets.

This collection of forty-one spellbinding flash stories blends fantasy, science fiction, and subtle horror with a distinctly Virginian twist.

Wander Cold Harbor Battlefield where fallen soldiers still march. Share moments with presidential ghosts. Face fire-breathing dragons soaring over the Shenandoah Valley. Tread through the murky depths of the Great Dismal Swamp, where otherworldly creatures lurk. Smile at a clever feline lighthouse keeper tending the beacon at Cape Henry Lighthouse.

Perfect for fans of regional weird fiction, flash fiction enthusiasts, and anyone who loves seeing their home state through a speculative lens.
