Camber McGraham's Compendium of the Uncanny

A 1990s style indie rock/pop track accompanying a short story about that stupid situation we all face from time to time when you’re walking towards someone on a pavement and you both go the same way… dialed up to the ridiculous max!

Step Change (Demo)

A young woman named Penny is locked away in a stone chapel by the sinister reverend, her hope fading with every passing dawn as hunger and isolation gnaw at her spirit. But when Bradley arrives at the vicarage—tractor rumbling, clutching a mysterious artefact in need of translation—possibility stirs anew. As Penny struggles to call out for help with her weakening, rasping voice, a tale of resilience unfolds where sunlight, birdsong, and the courage to hope might mean the difference between captivity and rescue.

Morning At The Chapel

When a curious angel discovers seven identical stones in the shadow of volcanic fire mountains, he sets off across the heavens in search of answers. But even the wisest of angels cannot explain their perfect symmetry or impossibly light weight. As the mystery deepens, the stones reveal a secret no one—celestial or mortal—could have foreseen: from within, life stirs. A plucky little creature hatches from stone, sparking the most unlikely origin story of all—the first chicken. Part parable, part cosmic comedy, this whimsical fable unfolds among angels, miracles, and a wink at the age-old question: what came first, the chicken or the egg?

Seven Stones

Hidden deep in the wintry forests of western Europe stands a strange home: doorless, windowless, and untouched by the outside world for generations. For the family who lives within, life is a cycle of digging, singing, and quiet contentment—until a wandering inventor arrives with his greatest gift yet: a door. As modernity and tradition collide beneath the pines, both visitor and hosts must reckon with change, belonging, and what it truly means to let the world in—or keep it out.

The House With No Doors

Track to accompany a short story.
A whimsical decorator with a flair for the impossible, Mister Van de Boor transforms chaotic homes where thunderstorms crash in lounges and snowstorms settle on chairs. With wit, charm, and a bucket of paint, he braves roaring sofas, monkeys on staircases, and leopard-print doors, taming wild décor disasters with calm precision. In High Pressure at Mulberry Cottage, expect laughter, imagination, and a storm of style—because no disaster is too wild when Van de Boor is on the job.

High Pressure At Mulberry Cottage

Song to accompany a short story. A retired detective, a haunted mill, and a curse that just won’t quit—Drake’s Mill has secrets buried deeper than its waterlogged floors. When Chief Inspector Carlisle calls in her one last favour, grumpy ex-inspector Packard finds himself dragged from golf-course misery straight into a night of supernatural chaos, where local legends prove deadly real and escape is far from guaranteed. With sharp banter, unlikely heroics, and a healthy dose of British stubbornness, this quirky mystery weaves together friendship, folklore, and floods—because at Drake’s Mill, no one leaves the same…and some never leave at all.

Discontent At Drake's Mill

Song to accompany a short story. When a black hole abruptly appears outside the chip shop on the high street of Upper Strettington Under Horsnorth, the sleepy village is thrown into cosmic chaos. As curious locals, hapless delivery boys, and entire vans vanish into oblivion, residents scramble to make sense—and business—out of catastrophe, with cones, chalk lines, and cut-price chips. The arrival of a government task force only adds to the farce, as eccentric townsfolk hatch a wildly unscientific plan to oust their unwelcome visitor. In a darkly comic twist, the villagers rally together with rope, ridiculous logic, and stubborn resolve, determined to drag the universe’s biggest problem onto someone else’s doorstep. A wry and whimsical tale of small-town spirit, cosmic inconvenience, and the eternal urge to pass the buck

How To Relocate An Inconvenient Black Hole
