These five novellas and short stories represent Simon Bestwick’s individually published shorter fiction. Each one stands alone and can be read without any knowledge of his other work. The Narrows (2008) was among his earlier publications, while Jaeger (2024) is one of his most recent.
Bestwick uses the novella format to build slowly toward his scares, giving each story room to breathe. For readers who want a taste of his writing without committing to a full novel, these shorter works are a practical starting point.
