"The Great Black Beast" from the 'Doorways to the Unseen 2' Story Collection
jamesdermond
"The Great Black Beast" is the first story in my second short story collection 'Doorways to the Unseen 2: 6 Tales of Terror and Suspense.' A terrible pestilence is engulfing the land. Sisters Mathilda and Hemma leave their dying mother and travel far from their remote village that has been consumed by the disease, with the hope an uncle whom they have never met will shelter them. Uncle Alarick lives somewhere near the mostly unexplored black forest, but what the girls find there is not what they had expected...
The complete collection with all six short horror stories is available in both eBook and paperback formats on Amazon and other book publishing platforms.
