This is a tough one: Based on the titles, which collectively appear to have elements of horror and anguish. "Shadows of Despair."

Could work maybe 'Shadows of Despair and Hope' since some are happier? Do you put on the cover that it's a short story collection? or just the back matter?

I was just going by the titles, but “Shadows of Despaie and Hope” could also work. I think if include “A Short Story Collective,” it should be in smaller font on the front--maybe in a bottom coner or along the top, depending on the picture. For the back, maybe have a quick blurb about each story(?)

Not So Happily Ever After.

Shadows of the Heart.

Spells & Mischief.

It's hard without key themes. Do each revolve around a love story i.e. are they romance? Is it YA/NA/Adult as a collection?

Maybe write each story's theme and work out the key things readers will be drawn in by? Why do they want to read this collection? xx
