But he also wrote fiction, including novels and several short stories, mostly gothic tales of horror and suspense; he won the 1977 World Fantasy Award for short fiction.

Ex Tenebris

Ex Tenebris, an early Kirk story, tells the tale of elderly Mrs. Oliver, who retires to a cottage in the now-abandoned English village of her childhood. She is harassed by the local planning officer until someone emerges from the shadows to intervene on her behalf. This story will amuse you—and perhaps cause the hairs to rise on the back of your neck—and will leave you thinking about architecture, tradition, what human beings really want, and how best to help our neighbors.
