About this site
Priestley's Tales of the Unexpected is an independent publication launched in May 2025 by James Paxton Priestley. It is intended to feature dark and unconventional stories that twist the familiar into the uncanny. In particular...
- Tales of horror, both mainstream and folk.
- Visitations to the world of the weird, especially New Weird.
- Haunting and supernatural tales.
- Speculative excursions.
- A soupçon, or more, of fantasy.
- And, as you might expect, tales of the unexpected... in any category.
In fact, over time, a veritable smorgasbord of delightful mixed bites to feast on!
