Welcome to Neverbury

Welcome to Neverbury is a collection of horror fiction by U.K.-based author Chris Lynch. It was self-published on Amazon’s digital Kindle platform in June 2023; an audiobook edition has since been released through Audible.
==Overview==
Welcome to Neverbury contains a series of loosely-linked short stories which share the same fictional locale of Neverbury, a small town somewhere on the coast of England which is steeped in the supernatural. The individual tales run a range of horror genres, from black comedy ("Yes, No Refunds", "Bring the Thunder") to gothic ghost stories ("A Design for Living"). Although they contain no direct references to the Cthulhu Mythos, they all took their cue from H. P. Lovecraft (see "Inspiration", below), and at least one ("Bring the Thunder") has strong suggestions of a Mythos connection.
==Inspiration==
Lynch states in his foreword to the book that the stories contained within were first written in response to a February challenge posted on the online Storytelling Collective website, wherein the authors were supposed to write a single flash-fiction piece every day for a month. To provide a springboard for the authors creativity, a prompt was given on the site for each day; these prompts were taken from H. P. Lovecraft’s Commonplace Book.
As all of his stories ran far in excess of the 500 word suggested target, Lynch compiled the first fourteen - plus one which acts as a gateway for a future volume - into Welcome to Neverbury. He also states that as there are still fourteen prompts to go, he will return with another collection of stories about Neverbury.
