Trevor Wood has contributed to Afraid of the Shadows (2021), a multi-author crime fiction anthology. His short fiction complements his novel-length work in the genre.
Wood’s novels, including the Jimmy Mullen trilogy, are set in Newcastle and feature characters on the margins of society. His anthology contributions tend to work in the same territory, with tight plots and a street-level perspective on crime. Afraid of the Shadows collects stories from several crime writers and was published the same year as his novel One Way Street.
For readers who already know Wood’s novels, the anthology offers a chance to see how he handles a shorter format. His characters and setting translate well into the compressed space of a short story.
