The Deadly Curiosities Adventures series collects the short fiction set in Gail Z. Martin’s Deadly Curiosities world. These stories take place in and around Charleston, South Carolina, where an antique shop called Trifles and Folly serves as a front for an alliance that hunts down cursed and supernaturally dangerous objects. The short stories expand on the events and characters from the main novels, with each entry standing as a self-contained supernatural encounter.
The series began in 2013 with stories like Vanities, Wild Hunt, and Steer a Pale Course, and continued through 2022 with Legacy and the third Trifles and Folly collection. Several stories explore the history of Charleston itself, drawing on the city’s real ghost stories and folklore. The collected editions bundle the individual stories together, making them easier to read as a set rather than hunting down each piece separately.
