Abstract: Slow Burn by Camille Henkel Slow Burn is a collection of stories in the genre of psychological horror and fantasy in which the world we inhabit is transformed through the characters’ distorted perspectives. The line between reality and the supernatural becomes blurred, unearthing anxieties around family, identity and the sense of self. All stories gather protagonists thrown between two worlds, two realities and examine the clash between them. They stand on the edge of breakthroughs, which promise either positive outcomes or dire consequences.
