By E.L. Ravenheart
Yarde Book Promotions Blog Tour
23rd November – 4th December 2026
Yarde Book Promotions is delighted to be organising the Ten-Day Blog Tour for E.L. Ravenheart’s atmospheric collection of Gothic haunting tales, The Shadow Keeper, from 23rd November – 4th December 2026.
Blending Indigenous Chippewa mythology with British Gothic folklore, The Shadow Keeper takes readers from the deep forests of the Great Lakes to the mist-shrouded moorlands of Somerset, where ancient boundaries are failing, old stories still carry power, and the spaces between worlds are not always as secure as they appear.
Publisher: Independently published
Print Length: 187 Pages
Genre: Historical Supernatural Fiction / Gothic Horror / Anthology
Between the northern forests and the Somerset moors, ancient boundaries are failing.
In the deep woods of the Great Lakes, skeletal spirits hunt the arrogant. Shapeshifters guard what remains of the wild. Hunger transforms the soul with a single choice. Across the Atlantic, on mist-shrouded moorland where leylines pulse through peat, a barefoot girl walks for two centuries, keeping a covenant her family refused. At standing stones, trickster ravens teach threshold lessons. In dark pools, witnesses become bridges between worlds.
And in the concrete spaces we call safe—nursing homes, apartment complexes, locked rooms—older hungers wake and feed.
The Shadow Keeper weaves Indigenous Chippewa mythology with British gothic folklore into ten interconnected tales of transformation, sacrifice, and the terrible price of keeping balance. Drawing on ancestral storytelling traditions and the haunted landscapes of Somerset, E.L. Ravenheart crafts atmospheric horror where memory carries power, shadows have intent, and every doorway leads somewhere unexpected.
The boundaries are thin. The keepers are tired. And hunger never sleeps.
The opening collection in the Powers of St. Katherine's House cycle.

E. L. Ravenheart is a gothic fiction author whose work blends psychological depth, atmospheric tension, and the quiet, uncanny edges of the supernatural.
With roots in the Indigenous Chippewa Nation (USA), Ravenheart draws on a cultural inheritance rich in story, symbolism, and reverence for the unseen. This heritage infuses the work with a mythic undercurrent — where the natural world speaks, memory carries power, and the boundary between the living and the spirit realm is never absolute.
Relocating to the United Kingdom in 2012, Ravenheart now writes from Weston-super-Mare, where the haunted coastlines, ancient landscapes, and layered histories of Somerset intertwine with Indigenous storytelling traditions.
The result is a distinctive gothic voice shaped by two worlds: the ancestral and the adopted, the wild and the weathered, the remembered and the half-forgotten.
Ravenheart is developing a growing literary cycle that begins with six interconnected novellas and culminates in the debut novel, The Powers of St Katherine’s House. Across this cycle, the fiction explores liminal spaces — between memory and myth, faith and fear, identity and the unknown — crafting narratives where atmosphere becomes a character and the past presses insistently against the present.
When not writing, Ravenheart can often be found delving into the deep history and folklore of Somerset, a practice that echoes through the emotional intelligence and character-driven focus of the work.
