We Will All Go Down Together

We Will All Go Down Together is a collection of interconnected short stories that blend horror and fantasy. The narrative centers on five clans—the Devize, Druir, Glouwer, Roke, and Rusk families—who fled Scotland and settled in the fictional town of Dourvale in northern Ontario. Known as the Five-Family Coven, these families are descendants of witches and witch-children who escaped persecution in their homeland. The members of these families now work as shamans, spellcasters, singers, and thieves, surviving by trading their occult powers and talents, though the cost of these abilities is often steep. While structured as a short-story collection, the book functions as a dark, fractured novel that spans continents and centuries. The ghost-magic of Dourvale continues to shape reality throughout the interconnected narratives, creating a mosaic of stories bound by family ties and supernatural legacy.
