Rebecca Cantrell’s short fiction shows the same genre-hopping tendency as her novels. The five pieces published between 2013 and 2023 range from mystery to horror to speculative fiction, each exploring a different idea in compact form. On the Train and The Man in the Attic offer self-contained suspense, while Caulbearer and Firegazer move into darker territory.
Short fiction gives Cantrell space to experiment without the commitment of a full series. These stories are best approached as complements to her novel-length work, offering quick reads that demonstrate her range and willingness to try ideas that might not sustain a full book.
