Marion, Indiana – Originally published on January 3, 2014, Blessings From The Darkness remains a haunting and heartfelt collection that continues to resonate with readers of dark fiction, fantasy, and emotional storytelling. This acclaimed anthology, compiled and edited by Kelly J. Koch, brings together more than 30 diverse authors - including Indiana-based author Sheri Ann Richerson - in a powerful tribute to award-winning writer Yvonne Mason.
Each story and poem in Blessings From The Darkness explores the shadows of the human experience - the fears, mysteries, and quiet hopes that shape us all. From chilling supernatural encounters to deeply introspective moments of grace, the anthology is a testament to storytelling that both frightens and heals.
“I’m so proud to have contributed my story, The Sanctuary, to this incredible collection,” says Richerson. “It’s a tale about faith, courage, and isolation - and what it means to keep standing when no one else believes what you see. Even though it’s a dark story, at its heart, it’s about perseverance and light.”
All proceeds from the anthology continue to support Yvonne Mason’s family, making the project a lasting symbol of generosity and community among independent authors.
First released by Black Bed Sheet Books, Blessings From The Darkness has been described as “outstanding, terrifying, and inspiring” by Francy Weatherman, host of Francy & Friends. The collection features notable authors such as Scott Nicholson, Barbara Watkins, Rick Powell, Sage Sinclair, and many others - each contributing their own unique take on darkness, redemption, and the human condition.
Blessings From The Darkness is available on Amazon in both Kindle and paperback editions. Readers can also learn more about Sheri Ann Richerson and her writing at SheriAnnRicherson.com or through her Amazon Author Page.
