Storm Constantine lives with her husband, Jim Hibbert, and nine cats in an historic part of the English Midlands, close to ancient hunting grounds and far from the industrial dark of the black country.

Mythangelus- A Collection of Stories
Angels dark and light have inspired Storm Constantine throughout her writing life. In Mythangelus, all of her stories with an angelic theme, or inspired by angel mythos, are collected for the first time. This includes two Wraeththu stories, ‘By the River of If Only’ and ‘Paragenesis’ – as the Wraeththu novels were originally inspired by magical angelic legends. Included too are ‘Fireborn’, and ‘The Feet, They Dance’, pieces that were written while Storm was working on her Grigori trilogy, which are tales inspired by the myths of the Fallen Angels and the Nephilim. ‘A Change of Season’ is the short story that eventually became the opening chapters of ‘Stalking Tender Prey’, the first in the Grigori series, and ‘Heir to a Tendency’ features the lead Grigori character of Peverel Othman, years before his feet led him to Little Moor and the events of the first novel. From the fairy tale lore of ‘Spinning for Gold’ and ‘Living with the Angel’ to the more science fiction oriented ‘The Green Calling’, and the dark urban fantasy of ‘Return to Gehenna’, these stories are among the most sumptuous and vivid from the imagination of the celebrated Shadow Priestess of Fantasy.
Mythophidia: A Collection of Stories
One of four volumes collecting the shorter works of mistress of shadow fantasy, Storm Constantine, Mythophidia’s theme is the serpentine and the exotic. The snakes in these pages are seducers and deceivers, whose pretty jewelled coats might attract the eye, yet ultimately poison the heart. From the sinister fetishism of ‘Kiss Booties Night Night’, through the dark fairy tales of ‘Sweet Bruising Skin’ and ‘The Heart of Fairen De’ath’, to the mysterious toxins of ‘Remedy of the Bane’ and ‘Night’s Damozel’, these twelve stories are a dizzying and rapturous flight into the inner worlds of an author renowned for her sumptuous dark visions.
Mytholumina: A Collection of Stories
The third in Immanion Press’s series of Storm Constantine’s short story collections, Mytholumina contains the majority of the author’s science fiction stories that have appeared in anthologies and magazines. There are rare pieces to be found here, such as ‘So What’s Forever’, ‘The Vitreous Suzerain’ and ‘God Be With You’ that were written for short-lived or little known genre magazines that Storm was keen to support. Included also are previously unpublished pieces, such as ‘The Germ of Life’ and ‘Time Beginning at Break of Day’. Whether they take you to a slightly-skewed version of our own reality or out among the far flung stars, these stories are peopled by the rogues, seducers and enigmas that are a hallmark of Ms Constantine’s work.
Thorn Boy and Other Dreams of Dark Desire
This anthology collects all of Storm’s stories set in the world of her Magravandias trilogy. Spanning different periods in the history of that world, some inspired by well-loved fairy tales, the dreams of dark desire to be found within this book take the reader on feverish and heady journey, from the exotic land of Cos to the royal courts of Cos.
